Moderate Republicans Dig In on Abortion Pill Measure

“House Republicans’ push to ban mail delivery of abortion pills is at the center of a major snag in Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s pre-recess appropriations sprint, with a larger bloc of moderate Republicans now digging in to strip out the measure,” Politico reports.

“That spending bill already faced a major whip issue. Now, even as talks continue with GOP leaders the week of the vote, about a dozen moderate Republicans are still demanding that the GOP abortion pill measure be removed from the bill to fund the Agriculture Department before they can back it.”
