Washington Post:
House Democratic leaders agreed Friday night to settle an impasse over abortion by letting the entire House vote on a proposed solution, a risky decision that could determine the fate of their trillion-dollar overhaul of the nation's health care system.Under the agreement, anti-abortion Democrats will be permitted to offer an amendment on the House floor to the health-care overhaul bill. The amendment would prohibit a new government-run insurance plan created by the health-care bill from offering to cover abortion services, congressional sources said. It would also block people who received federal subsidies for the purchase of health insurance from buying policies that offered coverage for abortions.
The report goes on to state that the ammendment is likely to pass with Republican support combined to the forty anti-abortion Democrats lead by Stupak (D-Mich) and that passage of such language would allow the Catholic Bishops to support the health care bill.

The Bishops may support ObamaCare if there is an 'abortion block' provision.
But that does not mean that CATHOLICS will support ObamaCare.
USCCB is attempting to immanentize the Eschaton through national legislation.
It's the result of 100 years of fraudulent theology teaching, which posits that charity is a virtue of the State, not just of individuals.
