The United States Senate has rejected an attempt to tighten restrictions on abortion coverage in a health care reform, threatening a crucial Democrat's support for passage of the final bill.
Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska's amendment to ban the use of federal funds for abortions, identical to a provision approved by the House of Representatives last month, was defeated by a 54-45 margin.
