Sen. Nelson courted pro-lifers and certainly talked as if the pro-life cause was the fundamental issue on which could not be trumped.  He talked the talk until he voted the vote or imbibed the bribe.  I guess pro-lifers were a trophy dog to be used when they suited his purposes to get elected in a pro-ife state.  Pro-lifers were a nice ornament to have around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Contrary to Sen. Nelson this was not a dog bites man story, but a man bites dog story.  Pro-lifers have complained about his abandonment of the unborn, it was he who slipped in the knife.<\/p>\n<p class=\"blog\">Using pro-lifers as ornaments is nothing new.  Even though Republicans usually support the pro-life cause &#8211; you often get the feeling that it is more an issue of politics then one of conviction for many of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the deal became public Saturday, Nelson was slammed by former allies opposed to abortion.
