House votes to kill Pentagon’s controversial abortion travel policy
Fox News
House of Representatives voted largely along party lines on Thursday to repeal the Pentagon's abortion travel policy
The House vote is a victory for conservatives who hinted that including the language in the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) was critical to their support for the entire bill. However, the language is certain to lead many Democrats to vote against the bill. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
It would theoretically put House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., in a tough spot when it comes to passing the NDAA. With just a razor-thin House majority, he can afford to lose no more than four votes for any legislation to pass without Democratic support. It's also not clear yet if hardliners in his conference will get everything they want in order to vote yes on the final bill.
