House GOP Passes VA Bill Amid Biden's Veto Threat Over Abortion Policies
House Republicans passed a veterans' funding bill that includes new abortion restrictions, prohibiting the Department of Veterans Affairs from offering abortion counseling and procedures in certain cases. This move overturns a Biden administration rule and sets up a partisan clash with Democrats in the Senate and the White House, who have threatened to veto the bill. The provision is part of broader conservative policy measures in the bill, which has drawn criticism from Democrats for including contentious issues like reproductive rights.
