Senate Committee OKs Amdt to Allow Abortions at US Military Hospitals

The Senate Armed Services Committee voted 15-12 to approve an amendment to a bill that would turn U.S. military base hospitals into abortion centers. The amendment, sponsored by pro-abortion Sen. Rolland Burris of Illinois, would have the military break with current longstanding policy. The Burris amendment is more expansive than a 2006 effort because it allows abortion on both domestic and overseas military bases. All Republicans and Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson voting against it while all other Democrats voting for it. LifeNews
