Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK), at left, went to the Senate floor moments ago to slam Health and Human Services nominee Kathleen Sebelius for her pro-choice position on abortion.

Coburn, himself an OB-GYN, called Sebelius' position on late-term abortion "a drastic and fatal character flaw," and added, "I believe that's a disqualifier."

He finished by saying he will mark her confirmation by the Senate as "another signpost on our way toward oblivion as a nation."

The Capitolist will be following today's debate on Sebelius today, and will keep fellow Caps posted....expect a vote this evening.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around. Please read our Help and Feedback section for more info.
