Per the demands of several moderates and women members, House Republican leaders pulled a controversial anti-abortion bill from consideration in late January, a few days prior to the annual March for Life at Capitol Hill. The bill will be replaced by the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, a bipartisan bill that passed the House last year and will get another vote on Thursday, the 42nd anniversary of the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision. The change came after House Republican women and moderates battled against their leaders on the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
