Rand Paul (R-Ky.) moved this week to hold a noncontroversial flood insurance bill hostage until the Senate agrees that life begins at fertilization.<BR>>><BR>>> The bill, which would financially boost the National Flood Insurance Program on the cusp of hurricane season, had been expected to pass easily in the Senate. But since Paul on Monday offered an unrelated “fetal <SPAN
id=misspell-6 class=mark>personhood</SPAN>” amendment, which would give legal protections to fetuses from the moment of fertilization, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is threatening to halt progress on the legislation.<BR>>><BR>>> “I’m told last night that one of our Republican senators wants to offer an amendment — listen to this one — wants to offer an amendment on when life begins,” Reid said on the Senate floor Tuesday. “I am not going to put up with that on flood insurance. I can be condemned by outside sources; my friends can say, ‘Let them have a vote on it.’ There will not be a vote on that on flood insurance We’ll either do flood insurance with the amendments that deal with flood insurance, or we won’t do it. We’ll have an extension”<BR>>><BR>>> Reid has allowed Republicans to attach unrelated amendments to other important bills in the past few months. Most notably, he let the Senate
vote on a contraception-related amendment, proposed by Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.), to a transportation bill. But Reid called Paul’s measure “ridiculous” and “outlandish,” and asked Republicans to deal with him on “their side of the aisle.”<BR>>> Paul told reporters on Tuesday afternoon that he is “just trying to get a vote for people who elected me.”<BR>>><BR>>> “Can you believe that they’re exasperated with me?” he said, responding to criticism of his attempt to attach the unrelated amendment. “If [Reid will] give me a freestanding vote, I’ll take a freestanding vote any time.”<BR>>><BR>>> -----------------------------------<BR>>><BR>>> Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's (D-NV) response . . .<BR>>><BR>>> “I am not going to put up with that on flood insurance.
