Roe was decided by the Court. If republicans tell the dems they’ll agree to health care, but only if it excludes women, do you think they’ll take the deal? How could we possibly predict such a difficult decision except for by looking at the exact same one for all of American history.
Democrats say they are willing to negotiate on the issue. But they argue that two main issues are holding up talks: the lack of input from President Donald Trump, and Republicans’ insistence that abortion funding be part of the discussion.
Chances Dwindling for Renewal of Health Care Subsidies as Republicans Want Abortion Limits
Hope for an extension of health care subsides diminished in Congress this week as Republicans and Democrats largely abandoned the idea of bipartisan talks.
