That’s how I read it too. If that is the case Nelson only really cared about the Medicaid cash. Politicians in the various states are going to be furious is they are now dragged into this mess and will have to vote on abortion funding bills thanks to this nonsense. Most importantly though, is that it is going to be very, very hard for Stupak and friends to support this in the House. This is not over. Reid seems to only care about getting something out of the Senate and punting problems with the bill over to Pelosi.
Agreed, the House fight will be interesting.
