The most important news to absorb is that Senator Nelson – at this point – has caved and is promising to support Senator Reid’s pro-abortion bill when it is voted upon at 1AM tonight {update – he did cave and became the 60th and final vote for Reid’s pro-abortion bill.}
He refused to listen to pro-life groups who were attempting to support him, opting instead to strike a backroom deal with Senator Reid which saves his state of Nebraska $100 million over the next decade, as I report on the APP blog.
Others have noted the implications of Nelson’s “sweetheart” deal:
“Deacon Keith Fournier describes this as Nelson’s “bag of silver.” Fournier explains, “If Senator Ben Nelson actually sold his vote for a bag of silver for Nebraska then this has become a ‘Judas moment’ not a ‘Thomas More moment’ and its implications are evil.”
Read the full recap by Thomas Peters. He does a great job summing it up and providing helpful links.
But basically a bunch of fence sitting senators (that realized if they voted for this bill they could lose their senate seat in the next election) were given $100+ million bribes by the majority party (Democrats) in the senate to vote for this horrible bill that we can’t afford, will end up passing even more debt onto our children and expands federal coverage of abortion (paid for by your tax dollars) to an unprecedented level.
