Senator Nelson who’s vote is needed to ensure no filibuster and passage of any compromised bill has added an amendment preventing ANY public (government) plans from paying for abortions. This is a religious stance and something the frum community should applaud him for doing. He has committed to walk away from the entire OBAMAnible Health Care Bill if his amendment doesn’t pass.
After speaking with Senator Durbin it appears that the amendment will not pass and the entire negotiations on health care may be tabled. His opinion is, unless a compromise is agreed to by end of business on Friday the entire discussion will be moot.
My head is spinning from all the discussions of the day but for Obama Care opponents like me today is a good day. Obama Care is wrong for the country and ethically challenged.
