In a moment more shocking than Rep. Joe Wilson's "You lie!" outburst during President Obama's speech, an unknown person reportedly yelled "Baby-killer" when anti-abortion Democratic Rep. Bart Stupak took the House floor to discuss the health-care reform bill Sunday night. Stupak spoke against the motion to recommit his own amendment to prevent federal funding of abortion, since he already secured a promise of an executive order from Obama on the issue. Democratic pro-life Rep. Dale Kildee told Talking Points Memo, "It was disgusting… The person should be censured," noting he believed the culprit to be a member of the House. Though rumor had it that the screamer was Republican Rep. John Campbell, he adamantly denied the assertion. "It was in my area. I thought it was a Southern accent," Campbell said, adding that some Republicans reportedly recognized the voice but wouldn't point fingers. "Californians are in one row, Texans sit behind us. I am being told it's a Texan. The people who know won't give it up."
