Were Ben Nelson’s objections to the Reid “reform” legislation just an elaborate charade? Yep. If you find it hard to believe that anyone could be that dishonest, your doubts will be killed by the fact that the bill still provides funding for abortions:
The new Reid language that Senator Nelson now finds acceptable would allow federal subsidies to flow to plans that cover elective abortions in the insurance exchanges.
So, what’s all this “compromise” BS?
Senator Nelson is touting the fact that states can enact laws which prohibit elective abortions in the exchanges (the so-called “opt out”), but that was already permissible under the previous Reid language.
And what does that mean in practical terms?
A state can’t protect its taxpayers from financing abortions beyond its borders. Senator Nelson’s “compromise” leaves Nebraska’s voters entirely vulnerable to paying for California’s and New York’s abortions.
Nelson is a disgrace. The people of Nebraska are understandably angry, and should send this creep packing. He is not a moderate. He is not anti-abortion. He’s just a typical Beltway BS artist. Like most Democrats, he believes in nothing but money and power. The rest is a lie.
