USA: PRESIDENCY: HOWARD DEAN IN LEAD FOR DEMOCRAT CANDIDACY - Video

WASHINGTON (AP) - Senate Democrats blocked debate on stalled human trafficking legislation for a second day Wednesday as a Democratic senator's office belatedly conceded that a staff aide knew weeks ago that the measure included a controversial abortion-related provision.
Democrats have said for more than a week that their side of the aisle was not aware of the provision until a few days ago, nearly two months after the legislation was made public and long after a bipartisan vote in the Judiciary Committee on Feb. 24.
Several Democrats have accused Republicans of sneaking it into the measure without their discovering it.
But Julia Krahe, a spokeswoman for Sen. Amy Klobuchar, said an aide to the Minnesota Democrat "had seen the language" relating to abortion before the committee voted.
The aide "did not inform the senator. The senator takes responsibility for the work of her office and missing the provision and she is focused on moving forward to find a way to fix the bill and protect victims of trafficking," Krahe added. Her disclosure came in an email Tuesday evening in response to an inquiry first made a week ago.
Klobuchar is a leading Democratic advocate for the trafficking bill.
It was not clear if the Democratic aide informed any other staff members or officials in outside groups involved in the measure. Advocates with the National Organization for Women, the National Women's Law Center and several other women's groups said at a press conference Wednesday that they had not known of the provision.
Democrats erupted in anger last week, when they said they had belatedly discovered the presence of the provision.
The legislation is designed to help victims of sexual trafficking, establishing a fund to do so that would receive money paid by convicted sexual traffickers as part of their court cases. The measure says none of the money could be used to pay for abortions except in cases of rape, incest or if the life of the woman were in danger.

Democrat: Republicans putting Lynch at 'back of the bus'
World News Videos | US News VideosCopy
Sen. Dick Durbin, the number two Democrat in the Senate, accused Senate Republicans today of placing Loretta Lynchs nomination to be Attorney General in the back of the bus."
Loretta Lynch, the first African-American woman nominated to be attorney general, is asked to sit in the back of the bus when it comes to the Senate calendar, Durbin, of Illinois, said on the Senate floor this morning. That is unfair. It is unjust. It is beneath the decorum and dignity of the United States Senate. This woman deserves fairness.
Durbin called Lynchs nomination a civil rights milestone.
President Obama nominated Lynch in November to lead the Department of Justice, but her confirmation has stalled in the Senate. Democrats have pointed out her confirmation process is the longest of any attorney general in recent history.
A Republican Senate aide called Durbins statement irresponsible.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has delayed a confirmation vote on Lynch until the Senate passes an anti-human trafficking bill. Senate Democrats oppose the trafficking measure because it includes a provision that places a restriction on funds for abortions.
The Lynch nomination is next on the schedule. The only thing holding up that vote is the Democrats filibuster of a bill that would help prevent kids from being sold into sex slavery. The sooner they allow the Senate to pass that bipartisan bill, the sooner the Senate can move to the Lynch nomination, Don Stewart, spokesman for McConnell, said today.
I cant decide which is more shameless: Sen. Durbin filibustering a sex trafficking bill he cosponsors at the behest of the abortion lobby, or him injecting race into the debate to distract from it, another Senate Republican aide said.

Why Top Democrat Said AG Nomination Is 'In the Back of the Bus'
The final Budget of this Parliament has Liberal Democrat policies at its core.
The Budget confirms that Liberal Democrats in government are building a stronger economy and a fairer society, creating opportunity for everyone.
In government we have ensured that Britain has kept on the path to recovery in a way that is fair.
We wont jeopardise our economy credibility by overseeing a Budget that is a pre-election giveaway. Thats why everything in the Budget is paid for, and in a fair way.
It is because of our sound economic management that we can afford to deliver these policies.
And to help pay for these policies we are takingfurther steps to clamp down on tax avoidance by multinational companies andensuring banks make a fair contribution by increasing the bank levy.
This Budget is packed full of policies that deliver Liberal Democrat priorities:
And it is all fully paid for by delivering on Liberal Democrat policy:
Our economy is growing because of the hard work of people and businesses throughout Britain. But our economic plan is the rock on which our recovery is being built and it wouldnt be happening without the Liberal Democrats in government.
