Sen. Nelson unveils anti-abortion amendment

An article found on Yahoo!Finance explores the issue of abortion. Democrat Ben Nelson of Nebraska has recently released an amendment to the Senate's health care bill that puts stringent restrictions on abortion coverage. Liberals say they will not support it because it goes beyond current laws. This issue could threaten the passage of the overall health care bill because Nelson says he won't vote for the bill without the abortion language. The amendment made public Monday bars any private insurance company that gets federal money from covering abortions. That would apply to most insurers under the new bill, since they will benefit from new government health subsidies for low-income people.
