Sen. Mike Johanns (R., Neb.) tells National Review Online that the abortion debate has become “toxic” in Congress thanks to the health-care debate. He says if the House “deems and schemes” this bill into law, then the chance to change the legislative language on abortion will, for some time, “effectively” be over, due to the number of pro-choice senators. “It rips up the Hyde amendment, just throws it away. The pro-choice forces see their opening, and they’re driving their tank through it.”
