House Republicans are scrapping their plans to consider a controversial anti-abortion bill Thursday after a group within the GOP conference raised objections, NBC News reported. The House has passed another measure to further ensure that federal funds cannot be spent on abortions. The passed legislation states "No funds authorized or appropriated by Federal law, and none of the funds in any trust fund to which funds are authorized or appropriated by Federal law, shall be expended for any abortion." The limitations do not apply to abortions related to rape, incest, or preserving the life of the mother. The White House vowed to veto the bill.
