From the Hill: “More than 40 lawmakers vowed to oppose the final healthcare bill if the House language on abortion is not removed. Reps. Diana DeGette (Colo.) and Louise Slaughter (N.Y.) led the group of Democrats in writing to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) threatening to withhold support for a final conference report if it strictly prohibits federal funding for abortion services. “We will not vote | Read More »
