The plan pursues deficit reduction with health care and social programs, drawing opposition from the White House and Senate. Two opposition caucuses were defeated in party-line votes as lawmakers debate deficits and tax policy amid rising national debt.

Senate clears the way for fetus protection bill
Congress moves toward sending President Bush a bill that makes harming a fetus during a violent federal crime a separate offense. The Senate defeated an abortion-rights backed amendment, clearing the path after House approval last month. Anticipation grows among conservatives while abortion-rights groups oppose the measure as undermining a woman's rights. The bill defines an unborn child as a member of the human species carried in the womb and two victims in such crimes.
