An intraparty fight over abortion pills could hamper the new speaker's hopes of quickly passing a food and agriculture funding bill.
An intraparty fight over abortion pills could hamper the new speaker’s hopes of quickly passing a food and agriculture funding bill.
“If mifepristone stays in the bill it’s dead. If mifepristone comes out it’s dead,” said Rep. Kelly Armstrong . “So, until we solve that problem, we can’t get to the next one.” Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick told POLITICO Thursday that nothing has changed since he voted against the bill last month. D’Esposito called the abortion pill language “a non-starter” and said he’ll work with House leaders “to ensure my constituents’ priorities are addressed in this bill.”
“That’ll be one of his early tests,” he said of Johnson. “It is going to be important to many of us.”to his Republican colleagues that he wanted to create a working group to “address member concerns” with the agriculture funding bill. In addition to the fight over the abortion pill measure, former Agriculture Chair Frank Lucas and a bloc of rural Republicans oppose the bill over steep cuts to key farm programs that GOP hard-liners demanded.
