In a vote of 60-40, the Senate voted to invoke cloture and end the filibuster on the Reid amendments to the health care bill. Two more proceedural votes will be taken (a vote to close debate on whether to add the compromises to the bill, and a vote to close debate on the bill) before the anticipated Christmas Eve vote on the bill itself. Once the Senate health care bill passes, the House and Senate must agree on one version of a health care bill. Currently, public funding of elective abortions is prohibited in the House bill; it is allowed in the Senate bill. Democrat Senator Ben Nelson, who had a consistently pro-life voting record, sold his pro-life vote for a guarantee of permanent, 100% federal funding of Medicaid expansion in his state of Nebraska. Will the House pro-life Democrats sell their votes, too? God forbid that our leaders make it easier for Americans to get elective abortions by using our tax money to fund them! May our pro-life Democrat Representatives stand strong for the lives of the unborn!
May God have mercy on our nation.
