House GOP Cancels Vote On 20-Week Abortion Ban

WASHINGTON — On the eve of a scheduled House of Representatives vote on a bill banning abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, Republican leaders canceled the vote and replaced it with a less-controversial abortion limit, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.

“These attacks are so dangerous, extreme, and unpopular that House Republicans can’t even get their membership lined up behind them,” Richards said. “This should be an important message to politicians who continue to ignore the majority of the public who want Congress to focus on policies to move women forwards rather than taking them back.”
