House Republicans noticeably forgo language limiting access to the abortion pill mifepristone in their newly unveiled agricultural funding bill, after a similar effort last year helped doom their 2024 plan while exposing intraparty divides on the issue.
But notably missing from the text is a provision Republicans previously sought as part of their fiscal 2024 agricultural funding plan that aimed to nullify a Biden administration rule allowing mifepristone to be sold in retail pharmacies and dispensed by mail.
Its absence comes after GOP leaders struggled to pass the previous bill amid opposition from moderates, and as abortion is still top of mind for some voters months out from the critical November elections.
