Breaking: Nelson, Casey still on board with Stupak amendment
Contrary to a CNN story yesterday, pro-life Dem. Sen. Ben Nelson’s position on the Stupak-Pitts pro-life amendment “has not changed,” wrote Democrats for Life president Kristen Day in an email to me this morning.
In fact, “both he and Senator [Bob] Casey are committed to removing abortion funding,” added Day.
Subsequent to reading the CNN report that Nelson was back pedaling on his stand to keep public funding for abortion out of any socialized healthcare bill, Day contacted both senators’ offices, having personally been in close contact with them for months on this.
Day told me in a follow-up call staff did not know how the rumor got started, whether by malfeasance or sloppy journalism, but it’s simply not true.

I bet he started hearing from people and then had a change of heart.
Hate to sound cynical, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
Hopefully our junior senator is finally doing something right . . .
What Carder said
Ben Nelson is an unprincipled sell-out whose positions change depending on whoever is filling his pockets. He should be in prison, with Lieberman. Birds of a feather in a cage together.
When you got nothin, attack someone’s character.
Yes, Carla. Nelson is an honest and upstanding guy. Once he is bought, he stays bought.
Well, which is it?? If you’ve got nothin…
Any links you can give me about who, what, where, when and how in regards to Nelson would be much appreciated. Unless, of course that is all your opinion…..then never mind.
bystander, you were saying something about unprincipled sell-outs?
