Asked how Republicans reconcile supporting abortion regulation being flipped back to states while pushing for federal legislation on the issue, Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), the GOP Conference’s vice chair, told Breitbart News the Pro-Life Caucus is working with national groups like SBA List to find consensus on the matter, and whether there should be a “ceiling.”

“There’s a broad swath of opinions on that, you know, should it be a 15-week ban, six-week ban,” Johnson said. “I think we may be close to building a consensus, but it’s still being worked out.”

Johnson, who himself is pro-life and worked as an attorney in that arena for two decades, said discussions remain ongoing “about where we land on that,” a testament to the challenge House Republicans face with encouraging a national pro-life culture legislatively while holding such a slim majority in the lower chamber alongside a Democrat-controlled Senate and White House.

The House in January passed two fairly mild pro-life bills with unanimous Republican support and little to no Democrat support, a bill that would implement protections for babies born alive after botched abortions and a resolution condemning attacks on pro-life pregnancy centers, neither of which has been taken up in the Senate.

Overturning this was a huge and important accomplishment.

The total insanity and depravity that has ensued is a reaction to it.

Stefanik, the House GOP Conference chair and a member of leadership, was an early endorser of Trump’s reelection bid and reiterated her support for him Saturday on social media, saying, “We must continue strengthening the culture of life in America by electing President Trump in 2024!”

Good for her and the other GOP MAGA gals, they fight harder than most of the GOP men.
