On Nelson caving the answer has alwaye been "OF COURSE!" It was only a matter of price.
Ben Nelson will support the final Senate bill being brought forth by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV). Nelson fought for an abortion compromise in the bill; unfortunately for his efforts, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has stated its opposition to the compromise.
Obviously, the USCCB has a limited impact on any bill; however, it does provide a framework from which to base one’s pro-life support on. If a compromise is not supported by the USCCB, that definitively shows the final bill will not be pro-life in nature. Good for the Church in standing for its principles, especially given how much of the nation’s medical care is provided by the Catholic Church: “615 Catholic hospitals account for 12.5% of community hospitals in the United States, and over 15.5% of all U.S. hospital admissions."
