Can you submit an abstract to a conference that is identical to an abstract from your manuscript?

Here is the situation:
My supervisor wants me to submit some of my research to a conference that will also publish accepted abstracts in their affiliated journal. However, I have recently submitted a research article to another journal with the same abstract. Is this ok or is this against the rules?  
In addition, is it ok to submit the same abstract to more than one conference?

People often do conference papers that are substantially the same as journal articles. But it's not particularly good form to leave the wording of the title and abstract the same. Just reword it so that it says the same thing in different words and give it a slightly different title. It's a meaningless distinction really but it means you'll be able to say that they're different pieces of work (even if they're about the same thing with basically the same conclusions). Otherwise you'll look lazy.
