MSNBC is reporting that Stupak is now voting "yes" for HCR. Baird and Giffords are also reportedly "yes" votes as well.

CSPAN reported on MSNBC's report just a few moments later.

Information on why he switched his vote is slowly coming out. It appears that he was promised an Executive Order from Obama upholding the Hyde Amendment.

They think they have the Stupak 8

But can this language go too far for the pro-choice members of the house to sign off on?

UPDATE: Bart Stupak is holding his presser at 4 PM EST.
