. >>> and we're joined this morning by democrat marcy kaptur, representative from ohio.hanks so much for joining us this morning, representative. >> thank you, pleasure to be with you. >> we know that you are anti-abortion, we know abortion language in this health care bill was a big sticking point for you. this was sort of an 11th hour decision for you. what assurances were you given before you voted yes? >> well, of course that wasn't the only issue in the bill but it was the last remaining issue. and i worked with a team of members to negotiate with the obama administration on a very, very powerful executive order that will maintain existing law. every word was carefully chosen, based in precedent, and based in the operations of the department of health and human services over the last 35 years. so we are very confident that it will withstand any court challenges if there are any. and it basically does not move beyond existing law. >> you know, representative, you mentioned the notion of that executive order. some people might look to guantanamo bay and say, the thing

one congresswoman, congresswoman marcy kaptur, didn't think you showed enough remorse. sad -- this is hard to put in words maybe -- how sad are you over this? >> translator: well, all the vehicles bear my name, and if the people's trust vis-a-vis the vehicle gets lessons, then that is the same to myself. it is very difficult to express with words, but sometimes people tell me that i'm not explaining enough. it's unfortunate, but i really would like to continue doing my very best to convey my feelings. >> larry: mr. toyoda, you offered your condolences to the saylor family specifically who lost four members when their toyota accelerated out of control. what do you say to all -- what can you say now to the families directly, many of whom will be watching tonight, who have lost loved ones? what do you say directly to them as we show the saylor family? >> translator: i would like to really express my most heartfelt sadness that those members of the family have had to lose their lives with a toyota vehicle, and i would like to pray for them and extend my most heartfelt condo

. >> reporter: ohio congresswoman marcy kaptur experienced pushback for her support. >> there were a lot of individuals who didn't want this bill at all. i think that's where some of this is coming from. >> i'm never going to quit speaking on behalf of the unborn. >> reporter: a texas republican congressman who interrupted stupak's speech with "baby killer," is using it in a campaign ad. dr. dan banishak said in the past two days he received $60,000 for donations. >> join the searchlight rally march 27th. >> reporter: the tea party express tour sarah palin will include stupak's district. not because of the abortion issue but because his vote on health care will "burden the american people with even more debt and even more government control." >> what a great day for health care reform. >> reporter: sister simone campbell feel for stupak. she and other catholic nuns came out in favor of health care reform. she is getting hammered, too. >> one person called me a baby killer. >> reporter: she actually met with congressman stupak to offer comfort. sister simone met with congressman stupa

this is one example, representative marcie kaptur. one of the things she's been looking at closely is what brianna has been talking about, some of the specific language in the latest bill involving abortion. this is barron hill from indiana. we have some information on him. his main concern and this is interesting because it's a reminder of how complex these bills get, he was concerned about an excise tax exemption for some medical device manufacturers. one of hi concerns. he's looking at that specific language here as well. let's get to two more of the undeclared who ultimately could be holding the future of health care in their hands. representative ron kind of wisconsin. he has been waiting to see the bill. he's talked about costs being a factor. one more over here on the magic wall and that's representative michael capuano, a democrat from massachusetts. you might not think a lot of democrats from massachusetts would be wavering on health care. he has expressed various questions but we're not sure what it is he's focusing on at th

bart stupak, marcy kaptur, and others. and, many of these people who are very liberal. this, you know, it's an interesting fact. bart stupak voted against going to war in iraq. he's voted against a lot of these terrible free trade agreements. he's not the worst guy in the world. he just really opposes abortion. these compromises are always made. and the most important thing is that we're here today screaming and yelling about it. and i'll tell you why. every bit of social progress in this country has come in what's best referred to as reform moment. a moment when the country is ready to do something on slavery, on child labor, on the horrible construction of our economy during the great depression era, on civil rights. there's always a reform moment. >> moyers: social security. >> social security. >> moyers: there was a huge fight. huge, ugly fight. >> absolutely. and so, there's always going to be a reactionary force that says, "don't do anything." and then there's going to be a sort of a moderate force that says, "well, the country's ready to make some change, let's d

and democrat marcy kaptur of ohio complained the president's aides were "out of touch" as unemployment in parts of ohio tops 15%. >> we have more cities poor in this country than any other state now. our food bank lines are growing longer. 25% of our food banks and food shelters turned away people last year. people are becoming desperate. i am their representative. i cannot politely sit and listen to this and not feel compassion for them and expecting some from you. >> sreenivasan: but treasury secretary timothy geithner insisted president obama has worked hard to spur growth. >> this president acted with enormous care and force and speed. some of you have never seen in this country or any other country around the world facing a country like this. worked to enact again in remarkable speed the most powerful set of support for a crisis you have ever seen before. those things were difficult to do. they were unpopular but they were essential. >> sreenivasan: still, the chair of the president's council of economic advisers, christina romer, warned unemployment is likely to stay high for som
