"Uncertain Fate: House GOP Agriculture Spending Bill Hangs in the Balance"
The House GOP's agriculture spending bill is facing opposition from moderate Republicans due to a provision that restricts access to an abortion pill. Representatives Nancy Mace, Marc Molinaro, and Anthony D'Esposito have expressed their opposition to the bill, citing concerns about the language pertaining to mifepristone. The provision in question would nullify a Biden administration rule allowing the sale of mifepristone in retail pharmacies and by mail with prescriptions. With Democrats also opposing the measure, Republicans can only afford to lose a few votes to pass the bill. The discord over the agriculture appropriations bill comes ahead of the September 30 deadline to fund the government, but a stopgap bill is expected to be needed to avoid a shutdown.
