WASHINGTON – Monday,
Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson,
a Democrat, said he will not
support any health care bill that
does not include stringent abortion
restrictions approved by
the House. The House’s health
care bill prohibits governmentrun
and government-subsidized
private plans to cover abortion
costs. Other senators plan to
fight against the bill, saying that
the bill limits no other procedures
and singles out women.
