Senator Ben Nelson (D-Nebraska) is attempting to subdue the anger
of pro-lifers who feel he betrayed them with his
support for the Senate healthcare bill.
Senator Nelson aired a new television ad last night during the
Nebraska-Arizona Holiday Bowl game in an attempt to justify casting the 60th
vote in favor of the Senate healthcare bill. Nelson claims in the ad that he
"took a commonsense approach to improve the bill," however the two-term senator
alienated many of his past supporters who are pro-life when he supported
legislation that allows taxpayer funding of abortion.
Julie Schmit-Albin, executive director of Nebraska Right to Life,
says her group had a great relationship with Nelson and his staff until he went
back on his word.
(Sen. Nelson can do all the political talk he wants to but he no longer can run on theme that he is pro life. What he did by going along with the pro. abortion left will allow tax money to be used to kill unborn babies. Thanks Sen. Nelson for selling out the unborn.

Nebraska.)
