From what I can gather, the GOP will put a motion to recommit. They will attempt to amend the bill to include anti-abortion language. If the “pro-life” Rats vote to NOT recommit, they are essentially saying that they stand for the bill as it stands with publicly funded abortions.

If they vote to recommit, then the GOP can amend the bill which will then not be the exact same bill that the Senate passed. Even if the House passes the amended bill the bill then goes back to the Senate where it will require 60 votes to stop a filibuster. This will effectively kill the bill.
