How is it that the majority of Democrats that voted against #HCR voted also for the Stupak amendment?

What am I missing with this political coat-hanger remedy to health care reform?

Here are the Democrats who voted to eliminate all insurance coverage for abortion procedures. Here are the Democrats who voted against health care reform. The following are the names that overlap:

  1. Altmire
  2. Barrow
  3. Boccieri
  4. Boren
  5. Bright
  6. Chandler
  7. Childers
  8. Davis (TN)
  9. Gordon (TN)
  10. Griffith
  11. Kissell
  12. Marshall
  13. McIntyre
  14. Melancon
  15. Peterson
  16. Ross
  17. Shuler
  18. Skelton
  19. Tanner
  20. Taylor
  21. Teague

If denying women health care coverage for abortions was necessary to pass the bill, how come 22 of those 65 Democrats who voted against the Stupak-Pitts bill still voted against PelosiCare? I am missing the logic behind the need to throw women under the bus. After all, only 1 Republican voted with the Democrats.
