Marco Rubio in tough spot on abortion - Burgess Everett - POLITICO.com: "But there’s one major difference between the star Republican’s lead role on immigration and his potential abortion action. The abortion bill is most likely going nowhere in the Senate.
If a 20-week abortion ban is introduced in the Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has no intention of scheduling the bill for floor action, a leadership aide said Monday. The bill might not even get its day in committee. But anti-abortion rights backers think sponsorship by Rubio, a possible 2016 GOP presidential nominee, would be enough to bring the issue into a national media focus — whether or not there is a floor fight."
