Republicans are holding up progress on legislation for coronavirus because of abortion.
Bloomberg News reporter Erik Wasson reported that the GOP wants language about the Hyde Amendment.
"A key sticking point in the talks appears to be GOP demands to include Hyde amendment language in the bill to prevent federal funds from being used for abortion," he tweeted.
NARAL chief Ilyse Hogue tweeted that the idea that the law would force the government to pay for abortions is a lie.
"The fact that the GOP would use the #CoronavirusPandemic to spread more falsehoods and grind an ideological ax is sickening and perverse," she said.
It prompted outrage from people demanding answers for why Republicans care more about the unborn than they do about the living. See the comments below:
