#1 I hope Sen Nelson stands his ground. THe mandatory funding of abortion in this bill is an abomination, as er the lack of conscience protection for healthcare workers. And that's in addition to all the other crap that is loaded into it.

I wonder if a case for conscience objections can be made to withhold paying taxes? If forced to contribute to this, I will need to consider going to jail versus committing a cardinal sin and putting my soul at risk.
