From The Hill:
Another key Democrat says he won’t vote for a healthcare bill that funds abortions.
“As I said publicly, I can’t vote for a bill that will publicly fund abortion,” Rep. Chris Carney (D-Pa.) told the Scranton Times-Shamrock.
Carney, who voted for the House bill in November, is regarded as a key vote for the Democratic leadership on the upcoming Senate bill.
Two other Democrats facing tough races — Reps. Steve Driehaus (Ohio) and Brad Ellsworth (Ind.) — made similar statements in recent days. The two of them and Carney are thought to be potential members of the bloc of Democrats standing with Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) over the abortion issue.
Carney, like Driehaus and the Senate candidate Ellsworth, faces a tough race this year.
