Nelson Adds Anti-Abortion Amendment to Senate Bill
--------------------------------------------------



Democratic Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska meanwhile has introduced an
amendment adding strict anti-abortion language into the Senate
healthcare reform bill. Nelson’s measure mirrors the controversial
language included in the House bill sponsored by Michigan Democrat Bart
Stupak. The measures would bar any woman who receives government health
insurance subsidies from enrolling in an insurance plan that covers
abortion.
