It just reinstates the Stupak Amendment passed by the House. The Democrats knew all along this was the price they had to pay for Obamacare.

As predicted, Hellson votes yes on cloture, and will vote no on the final bill (after railing about this and that... on deaf ears, of course).

“no surprise. He’s toast here in Nebraska.”

Swell....bring on the media spin on how this is a huge victory for Obama and Ried. My stomach won’t be able to tolerate much more of this.
