F..k you, Senator Nelson. We will not crucify women's rights and reproductive freedom on your cross of misogyny and hate.
Sen. Ben Nelson told reporters today he will filibuster the health care bill if it doesn't contain an abortion amendment similar to Rep. Bart Stupak's amendment that passed attached to the House health care bill last month.
"I will not vote to take it off the floor," said Nelson (D-NE).

I think the President, Sen. Reid, and all Democrats need to unite in opposition to misogyny and hate.
Progressives must defeat any health care bill with a Stupak amendment. Nelson is shilling for Big Insurance here. (Mutual of Omaha?).
We must defeat conservadems like Nelson. And we need to punish Nelson by cutting any pet projects.
Time to show that the Democratic Party is more than just War and Wall Street. I hope it is anyway. Or there will be no Democratic Party over time.
