Stupak, who in numerous recent interviews has called his life a “living hell,” said during an interview on MSNBC’s “Daily Rundown” that his wife has had to unplug the family’s home phone.

Stupak said that he has been “cussed out” wherever he has gone since becoming the face of a group of roughly a dozen House Democrats who vowed to vote against the bill unless the current abortion language is removed.

“Unfortunately for my wife, she has to unplug the phone at night because you get the phone calls at 2 a.m., 3 a.m. in the morning,” the Michigan Democrat said. “They want to cuss you out.”

“My staff is overwhelmed and we’re accosted basically wherever we go by people who disagree,” he added. “We should have disagreements in this country. I for one am standing on a principle most Americans agree with. There’s no reason for that language, abusive behavior to my family, my staff or even myself.”

What his detractors don’t understand, Stupak said, is that without the abortion provision, “I want to see health care pass as much as [House] Speaker [Nancy] Pelosi and President [Barack] Obama.”
