From The Hill:

The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops wrote senators on Monday, urging them to back an amendment on abortions set for a vote today.
The bishops, who pushed the House to pass an amendment restricting federal funding for abortions by Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) to its bill, asked senators to back a similar amendment from Sens. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.), Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and Robert Casey (D-Pa.).
Rockville Centre Bishop William F. Murphy, Galveston-Houston Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, and Salt Lake City Bishop John Wester said the current Senate healthcare bill doesn’t go far enough to prevent federal subsidies for abortion coverage.
“Therefore we urgently ask you to support an essential amendment to be offered by Senators Ben Nelson (D-NE), Orrin Hatch (R-UT) and Robert Casey (D-PA) to keep in place the longstanding and widely supported federal policy against government funding of health coverage that includes elective abortions,” the bishops wrote.
