The U.S. Senate refused to add stricter limits on abortion funding to
health-care legislation, jeopardizing Nebraska Democrat Ben Nelson’s support for the overall plan.
The Senate voted 54-45 to reject Nelson’s amendment. While he said his
proposal would simply preserve the prohibition on federal funding of abortion,
opponents argued it would discourage insurance companies from covering the
procedure. ( Nelson
Fails to Add Abortion Limits to Health Bill )
(As I posted yesterday more was needed than this to keep abortion out of the health care bill. However now the question is will Sen. Nelson now keep his word and not vote for health care. No matter what if government health care becomes the law of the land Sen. Nelson must take some of the blame because he voted for a bad bill in hopes of changing it. I do hope Nelson will keep his word and put the right to life ahead of his party. I don't believe most Americans including those who support abortion support tax money being used to pay for them.)
