Coronavirus funding held up by GOP because of 'abortion'

Republicans are holding up progress on legislation for coronavirus because of abortion.

Bloomberg News reporter Erik Wasson reported that the GOP wants language about the Hyde Amendment.

“A key sticking point in the talks appears to be GOP demands to include Hyde amendment language in the bill to prevent federal funds from being used for abortion,” he tweeted.
