Abortion Debate Still Tangled in Bankruptcy Bill

Abortion Debate Still Tangled in Bankruptcy Bill

Interesting story that illustrates a crack in the GOP coalition: the Money Republicans want this bill, the "God" (sic) Republicans don't.

"The fate of a much-debated bankruptcy bill may depend on whether Congress considers it appropriate for antiabortion protesters to file for bankruptcy to avoid paying fines.

The proposed law would make it more difficult for Americans, especially wealthy ones, to have their debts erased by filing for bankruptcy. The bill has been a priority for banks and credit card companies since 1998, when it started to wend its way through Capitol Hill..."


But I'm having trouble seeing how the Dems can spin this GOP split to an advantage.
