I hope she's right:

A House Democratic leader said Monday she's “confident” controversial language on abortion will be stripped from a final healthcare bill.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), the Democrats’ chief deputy whip in the House, said that she and other pro-abortion rights lawmakers would work to strip the amendment included in the House health bill that bars federal funding from going to subsidize abortions.

A letter signed by 41 House Democrats was sent to Nancy Pelosi vowing a vote against the bill if Stupak's amendment sticks.

And the only Republican to vote aye, Cao, said he only voted for the bill because the amendment was included.
