House Democrats are ready to “forge ahead” on healthcare without
a deal on abortion, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) said Friday.
Hoyer said hopes for a deal have all but evaporated with a
dozen Democrats who want tougher restrictions on the use of federal funds for
abortion services than are included in the Senate’s healthcare bill.
Democratic leaders have been trying to reach an agreement
with Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) and his allies before moving forward with a vote.
