Yeah, but I think they're trying for additional restrictions (i.e. not allowing the abortion riders on the state marketplaces or something like that). The Rs are saying it's a natural extension of Hyde, Senator Shaheen is saying "absolutely f*cking not".

They're trying to poison pill it with abortion restrictions but I don't think that's going to work for them politically.

"Blood for the Blood God" is not a policy I, a Democrat, feel comfortable asking of my elected officials. Neither is "A measure of wheat for a penny".

At this point I think even the Democrats accepting the CR wouldn't be a cave. I think this fight has inflicted mortal political damage on the GOP for their 2026-2028 prospects beyond (at least) my wildest expectations when the Democrats went into it.
