What we all should know about the lives of active-duty military families

We’ll also call out to Rev. Charles Rush, Senior Minister at Christ Church in Summit, NJ.

Hour 2

But it also included an amendment, the Stupak amendment that would restrict federal funding for abortion services, even in private health insurance plans. The provision, and the bitter debate on the House floor about it, has brought the abortion debate back to the top of the newscasts.
