House Republican leaders abruptly dropped plans late Wednesday to vote on an anti-abortion bill amid a revolt by female GOP lawmakers concerned that the legislation's restrictive language would once again spoil the party's chances of broadening its appeal to women and younger voters.
In recent days, as many as two dozen Republicans had raised concerns with the "Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act" that would ban abortions after the 20th week of a pregnancy. Sponsors said that exceptions would be allowed for a woman who is raped, but she could only get the abortion after reporting the rape to law enforcement.

Walorski said the dispute “is no different” than conversations that occur before votes on other legislation. When pressed to explain her specific concerns, she rushed off: “I can’t. I can’t.”
Others seen exiting included Reps. Kristi Noem (R-N.D.), Diane Black (R-Tenn.), Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.), Vicky Hartzler (R-Mo.), Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Barbara Comstock (R-Va.), Susan Brooks (R-Ind.) and Ann Wagner (R-Mo.). Hartzler had already signaled her support for the bill to reporters. The other women declined to comment.
Anyone who thinks that GOP establishment politicians are any different than their Democrat opponents simply haven’t had the chance to know them.
They are cowards.
Gutless RINO harpies.
Disgraceful. How many of these women representatives took money from pro life organizations?
anyone really think they were not planning to do this all along?
republican rino/gop-e leadership does excellent kabuki. so many on our side still think it’s real.
Lucy, Charlie Brown, football.
Yep, no real difference.
+1
They are so f—king scared of the leftist media and being disinvited from the cocktail parties.
So they support baby killers.
We have an urgent need to get the RINOs out of leadership. It is getting to the point that I am wondering what difference there is between the parties; and I have been ridiculing those people for years!

Women are the gentler of the species ...except when it comes to murdering their children.

This is unforgivable. The 20 week mark is accepted by all conservatives as reasonable given unreasonable social standards.
The primary season starts anew.
It’s true! The only things that concern women are Abortion, Condoms, contraceptives, and Equal Pay.
Not RINOS. They are mainstream Republicans. It is conservatives that don’t fit the Republican label. Republicans are Fabians to the Democrat Communists.
This bill allows for abortions up to 20 weeks, why is there need for any Rape Exemption? A woman that has been raped has 20 weeks to solve the problem, right?
Why is there any need to put anything about Rape and Incest in this legislation?
What am I missing?
