We are not voting for health care if we do not resolve this language on public funding for abortion - no public funding for abortion.

All I'm asking for is the law that's been on the books for the last 33 years, no public funding for abortion. We are both saying the same thing, pro-life, pro-choice. Let's find the language that works for both of us so we can pass health care.
