Nelson to Introduce Anti-Abortion Amendment in Senate Health Bill
-----------------------------------------------------------------



The Senate meanwhile is expected to begin casting the first votes today
on amendments to its version of the health-care reform bill. On Tuesday,
Democratic Senator Ben Nelson said he plans to introduce a provision
that mirrors a House amendment that would severely restrict women’s
access to abortion. Abortion rights groups are planning to unveil a
public campaign against the Stupak/Pitts Amendment later today.
