Establishment House Republicans Aid Democrats in Reintroducing Bill Facilitating Veteran Access to Abortion Drugs

After a House Freedom Caucus victory over two leftist bills last week, House Democrats — with the aid of establishment Republicans — are set to reconsider the legislation this week amid staunch opposition from a majority of the House Republican Conference.

The two bills up for reconsideration are LGBTQ Business Equal Credit Enforcement and Investment Act and the Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act. The LGBTQ bill “would have allowed for LGBTQ-owned businesses to get favoritism in lending in much the same way minority-owned businesses may,” and the veterans contraception bill “would have facilitated government-funded access to abortion drugs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA),” Breitbart News previously reported.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi attempted to fast-track through the lower chamber of the U.S. Congress last Tuesday using a procedure called “suspension of the rules.” The procedure requires a two-thirds supermajority of the House to succeed.

To combat her agenda, House Freedom Caucus chairman Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) and other House conservatives like Reps. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) and Chip Roy (R-TX) among others, forced a roll call of the votes in an effort to get the bills turned down.

Now, the bills are up for debate again — except this time, Democrats are shooting for a simple majority of 51 percent to pass the legislation.

A small sector of the House Republican Conference has cleaved off in support of the Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act under the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs and ranking member Rep. Mike Bost (R-IL).

Since when did veterans not have access to contraception? Republicans get this through your thick RINO skulls: any new piece of legislation costs taxpayer dollars and has unintended consequences. Do not solve problems that do not exist. Cut that $hit out.

Any bill that was written by Democrats with the word "equal" in it is not equal. Republicans get this through your thick RINO skulls: vote for the LGBTQ Business Equal Credit Enforcement and Investment Act and we will be coming after you.
