White House officials claim Pelosi tried to put Hyde Amendment 'slush fund' loophole in coronavirus stimulus bill
"A new mandatory funding stream that does not have Hyde protections would be unprecedented," one of the officials said. "Under the guise of protecting people, Speaker Pelosi is working to make sure taxpayer dollars are spent covering abortion, which is not only backwards but goes against historical norms."

S everal White House officials have accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of trying to slip in an exception for the Hyde Amendment into a coronavirus stimulus bill.

The officials said Thursday that Pelosi tried to negotiate a provision that would have created a "slush fund" with access for groups previously banned from receiving funds under the Hyde Amendment, according to  the  Daily Caller .

"A new mandatory funding stream that does not have Hyde protections would be unprecedented," one of the officials said. "Under the guise of protecting people, Speaker Pelosi is working to make sure taxpayer dollars are spent covering abortion, which is not only backwards but goes against historical norms."

Another official asked, "What do the Hyde Amendment and abortion have to do with protecting Americans from coronavirus?"

Pelosi said that Democrats  agreed  to "most" changes that Republicans had asked for in the House bill.

"We are responding to their concerns. We don't want them moving the goal posts, and that's it," the California Democrat said.

The Hyde Amendment bans federal funds from being used to fund abortions. Many Democrats, including presidential primary front-runner Joe Biden, have  called for a repeal  of the provision.

Imagine Pelosi using the Coronavirus crisis to push for an abortion slush fund?

Disgusting!

The $1 billion to reimburse laboratory claims.

Be specific and provide the quoted section.

It is under negotiation and not listed there.

Evidently, that was why I was asked to go the trouble of posting the bare Bill? 
That figures.

Well maybe it's time to have another conference.

We got to tell Rep Andy Biggs ASAP!

Never let a good crisis go to waste, right?

There's no excuse to mess around with this relief bill. Now is not the time for the pro abortion jihadists to rewrite long standing law to further their abortionist agenda.  

Just do what needs to be done for the crisis. Now.

"House Democrats and the White House fell short of sealing a deal providing economic help to the victims of the devastating coronavirus, Speaker   Nancy Pelosi   (D-Calif.) said Thursday night.

But an agreement, she quickly added, is all but assured on Friday.

"It's fair to say we're close to an agreement, subject to the exchange of paper, and hope to have an agreement tomorrow," Pelosi told reporters just outside her office in the Capitol.

“One way or another,” Pelosi said, there will be a vote Friday.

The announcement came after hours of negotiations between Pelosi and Treasury Secretary   Steven Mnuchin ,   President Trump ’s point person on the second round of emergency coronavirus relief.

On Thursday, the two spoke at least four times by phone in search of a bipartisan stimulus bill that could pass through both chambers — a matter of increasing urgency in a week when the deadly pandemic rocked markets around the globe, shuttered schools, businesses and entire sports leagues and forced officials to close off the U.S. Capitol to the public.

The sides have been at odds over several provisions of the sweeping, multibillion-dollar package.

Republicans, for instance, have balked at the Democrats’ paid leave proposal, fearing it creates a permanent entitlement benefit, in lieu of simply addressing the current coronavirus. Democrats, for their part, have objected to GOP demands that the legislation include language explicitly prohibiting the use of federal funds for abortion services.

It’s unclear which, if any, of those sticking points remains after days of talks. But Pelosi suggested that if any issues remained unresolved on Friday, she’d table them and resume those debates on the next emergency coronavirus bill to come along."

“We’ve resolved most of our differences, and those we haven’t we’ll continue the conversation, because there will obviously be other bills,” she said.

The flu has had a head start, though. I think it's still worth fretting a little over the coronavirus. The medical people seem confident enough that it's more contagious and more deadly than the flu. Reason enough.

For certain folks. The "FLU" hits young and Old alike, kills both healthy or sick !

This CV19 seems to be killing those already sick. Haven't heard much of anything about a healthy person dying from it.

Story is bs.

But, taxpayers pay for babies which are expensive.  Would be better for taxpayers to pay for 'not babies' which is really cheap, all things considered.  More absolute proof that 'fiscal conservatism' is long-long dead.  In fact, so dead that maybe it never really existed in the first place.

A fetus is not a baby. 

Most of the problems on this planet have been traced to overpopulation.

The far right wing champions the unborn and then throws them under the buss when they are born and need help.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

of course it's a baby.  To call it anything else is to ignore biology.  You call "throwing under the bus" if we don't support communist redistribution of wealth programs.

They don't. Last I checked, infanticide is illegal.

No, it's not.

Then you don't understand biology. It's not a baby until it's born. That's a scientific fact!

You call "throwing under the bus" if we don't support communist redistribution of wealth programs.

So impoverished or struggling women with babies shouldn't get assistance from programs like WIC?

leftists are the true hypocrites and hate life

Both a sweeping generalization and an ad hom. Such hateful comments sure says a lot about you.

Overpopulation makes all other problems worse.  Coronavirius is another example of that

Indeed. Larger populations means larger groups and an easier time for diseases to spread. Nature does tend to deal with overpopulation though.
