It was reported Thursday that Pelosi pushed to include a way to guarantee federal funding for abortion into the Coronavirus response bill.

Politico then reported that the Hyde Amendment provision was removed from the Coronavirus response bill.
The two sides resolved issues over federal funding of abortion in a separate bill that will also hit the floor, Politico reported.
Never forget that Nancy Pelosi held up a vote on Coronavirus two weeks ago so that Democrats could run ads against Republicans on Super Tuesday.
Then she tried to ram federal funding for abortion into an important Coronavirus bill — Pelosi is truly evil.
