A number of Republican senators attacked an agreement reached between Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) and Senate Democratic leaders Saturday, saying it would lead to the eventual reversal of more than 30 years of federal law banning abortion funding.

Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Oka.) said it is “absolutely fictitious” that there is an anti-abortion provision in the Senate Democrats’ reworked healthcare reform bill.

“The negotiations, whoever did them, threw unborn babies under the bus,” Coburn said.

Damn we are gonna run out of buses at this rate!

4. Another rabbit statement

Oh please oh please don't throw me into that brier patch!!!

They love this, this is the biggest restriction on abortions at the federal level EVER (since Roe V. Wade).

There will be many many people who cannot purchase (even with their own money) insurance coverage for abortions.

The state that opt out will not have any abortion coverage by the companies that participate in the state run exchange AND all the major (and a lot of the minor) insurance companies are going to be on the exchange. Game over.

7. Yes because the goal of health care reform and the government

is to decide who gets born. Not the women who get pregnant. But Tom Coburn or Ben Nelson.

8. I love their bitter tears

Mmmm. Tastes like candy.

9. If they are born, they get health care

Which is more than the repukes would like for them to have.
