So, what will be the Republican strategery on the abortion amendment? Vote in favor of it so that in the event the whole debacle ends up getting passed at least the Hyde amendment provisions apply? Or vote to defeat the amendment to put all the blue dogs in the position where they’re voting in favor of health care “reform” that includes abortion coverage?
Choice #2. If they’re smart, they will not vote for any portion of it except their own amendments.
Besides, any anti-abortion amendment will become a seta aside in another bill. If this bill passes, amendment or no amendment, they will fund abortion and illegals.
