In
an interview Thursday with a Nebraska radio station, Sen. Ben Nelson
(D-Neb.) said new compromise language on abortion funding is
unacceptable.
"As it is right now, without further modifications, it isn't sufficient," Nelson told KLIN radio in Lincoln, NE.
This could be a significant blow to Senate Majority Leader Harry
Reid's effort to line up 60 votes in the coming days for the health
care bill. Nelson has said he would filibuster the bill unless the
abortion language mirrored what was included in the House bill.
Even if abortion is addressed to his satisfaction, "that is not enough" for Nelson commit to voting for the bill, he said.
