Rep. Steve King (R-IA) "skipped his son's Saturday afternoon wedding in Iowa in favor of the contentious debate over the public insurance option and abortion funding," Roll Call reports.
Said King: "Not being here to cast a vote against this health care bill was never an option. I couldn't live with myself if the bill passed by just one vote, and I wasn't present."
King added that voting against the bill was "the best gift I could give my son."
