Bill Clinton Pushes Senate Dems on Health Care
Former president to speak to Democrats about health care legislation during their weekly caucus
WASHINGTON -- Former President Bill Clinton knows just how high the political stakes are in the fight to overhaul America's health care system.
His failed attempt to revamp the delivery of medical care contributed to the Republican takeover of the House and Senate in 1994.
Fast forward to 2009, where health care's white-hot spotlight now shines on the Senate. Clinton is still in the picture, and he's expected to speak to Senate Democrats about health care legislation during their weekly caucus Tuesday, officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss his schedule.
President Barack Obama wants to sign the legislation into law by the end of the year. But abortion opponents in the Senate are seeking tough restrictions in the health care overhaul bill, a move that could roil a shaky Democratic effort.
Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., said Monday he could not support a bill unless it clearly prohibits federal dollars from going to pay for abortions. Nelson is weighing options, including offering an amendment similar to the one passed by the House this weekend.
"I want to make sure something comparable ... is in there," Nelson said.
The House-passed restrictions were the price Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., had to pay to get a health care bill passed, on a narrow 220-215 vote. But it's prompted an angry backlash from liberals at the core of her party, and some are now threatening to vote against a final bill if the curbs stay in.
Obama said the legislation needs to find a balance.
What a strange country we live in. To think that there are those in this nation who, on the pallid pretext of "freedom of choice", would not only demand the unlimited right to murder the innocent, but expect everyone but themselves to pay for it whether they agree with it in principle or not.
How about this for freedom of choice?
1) The SCOTUS ruled in 1972 that abortion is legal.
2) Abortion proceedures these days are substantially safer than they've ever been.
3) Abortions are also cheaper than they've ever been.
Basically put, if you won't be bothered with practicing elementary contraception then you should damned well be required to pay for your own abortion. The alleys are filled with alumininum cans, and you have roughly three months, start digging. 
So the guy who failed first is on the case?
Yuck..
