U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that while she is against anti-abortion language in the House version of the health care bill, the amendment was necessary for the bill to pass.
Pelosi spoke during a visit Monday to Seattle's Swedish Medical Center. She says the anti-abortion language "would have been in the bill one way or another," so bill backers thought it would be better to include it as amendment than as a provision that could jeopardize the entire measure.
