Congress has never really had a full-throated debate over abortion,
one that would help find a political truce on a recurring issue
that still divides Americans nearly four decades after the Supreme
Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade. No wonder then that the
possibility of federal money being used to pay for abortions under
the Senate version of healthcare reform might derail its passage in
the more abortion-sensitive House. About 12 antiabortion Democrats,
such as Rep. Bart Stupak of Michigan, threaten to vote against the
Senate bill, even though they voted for the House bill last fall.
Their numbers alone could turn other Democrats against President
Obama’s campaign for quick passage. The high court ruling in 1973
defined a right to abortion for women (up to the point of the
viability of a fetus/child outside the womb). But Congress has
consistently blocked federal money being spent for abortions
through the so-called Hyde Amendment. It is the apparent watering
down of a similar funding ban in the Senate bill – the one that
Mr. Obama wants to push through – that could now force Congress
to tackle the broader issues around abortion STAND UP TOGETHER WE

The Department of Transportation furloughed nearly 2,000 employees
without pay Monday as the government began to feel the impact of
Republican Sen. Jim Bunning's one-man blockage of legislation that
would keep a host of federal programs operating. Bunning's "hold"
also affects jobless benefits for thousands of unemployed workers,
rural television customers, doctors receiving Medicare payments and
others. Bunning wants the $10 billion price of extending the
programs offset by reductions in spending elsewhere in the budget
to not drive up the deficit. Absent that, his objections to proceed
with the legislation deny the Senate the "unanimous consent" that
Senate rules require for going forward under expedited procedure.
The Senate can overcome his objection if 60 of its 100 members vote
to do so. So far they haven't, and doing that would take at least
four days under Senate rules. "As American families are struggling
in tough economic times, I am keenly disappointed that political
games are putting a stop to important construction projects around
the country," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a
statement. "This means that construction workers will be sent home
from job sites because federal inspectors must be furloughed."
Federal projects shut down include more than $38 million in project
funding for Idaho's Nez Perce National Forest and Fernan Lakes
Idaho Panhandle National Forest and $86 million for bridge
replacements in the Washington, D.C. , area. Bunning's home state
of Kentucky has no projects affected by his action. STAND UP
