Conservative Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., has threatened to filibuster reform legislation unless it contains restrictions on abortion coverage...I really wish these BENIGHTED FOOLS would drop this abortion restriction effort. We don't WANT the bill to pass, in ANY form.
What are you trying to do? Make it GOOD ENOUGH to pass?
Will the abortion restriction be your SELLOUT PRICE that will purchase your vote for the SOCIALIZATION OF AMERICA.
Get real, you freaking idiots. Kill this monster, don't put lipstick on it.
That’s what they call a straw-man or red herring.
They focus on some inflated or irrelevant issue and attack that while the rest of the argument is accepted unnoticed.
I say irrelevant because, if this bill passes, they’ll add on abortion coverage at a later time, as an amendment to some other bill that passes in the dark of night.
As you said, reject the entire premise and argument.
KILL SOCIALIZED MEDICINE.
Since he's a Democrat, that would be a "yes".
How true.
And can you believe this stupid article references Ben Nelson as a "conservative". I guess socialized_medicine minus socialized_abortion equals conservatism, to the writer of this article.
Well said, samtheman. I object to the very PREMISE of this healthcare takeover, not to all the little deals that can supposedly dilute this monster. I expect B.O. to dip his hand into the giant piggy bank— otherwise known as our tax dollars and most likely unspent stimulus money—to bribe, intimidate, and lure any recalcitrants. But just for once, I’d like to see someone—anyone—stand up to him and say “No!”

Agree with you. Republicans debating abortion on the Senate floor makes me cringe. A bill without abortion will not make the bill better. And, abortion will somehow be permitted in the final bill.
