Yes, that's why the other senator is a Democrat.
a conservative Dem...we have the same problem in KS, though it is in the House, so it is much less serious of an issue since the Senate matters much more.

BEN NELSON
Cooperation with Republicans
He was the only Democrat to vote in favor of Brown; he was later the first Democratic senator to support Samuel Alito’s confirmation to the USSC. Nelson also has voted twice, with three other Democrats, to end Senate debate over President Bush’s UN Ambassador nominee John Bolton.
Views on abortion
Nelson is one of few Democrats in the Senate with a pro-life voting record. Nelson is a member of the Democrats for Life of America, a national organization for pro-life members of the Democratic party that advocates a 95% reduction in the number of abortions performed over the next 10 years. In the 2006 election, Nelson was endorsed by Nebraska Right to Life[2] and Nebraskans United for Life[3] — the two largest pro-life organizations in the state.
