12. But almost all of the GOP managed to vote to add an amendment to forbid travel reimbursements

for military personnel needing an abortion, to go to other states that allow it if they are stationed in a state that doesn't.

The vote was 221 - 213 (with 2 Republicans in swing districts opposing and voting with Democrats, including Brian Fitzpatrick here in PA in PA-1). There were 6 members not voting (3 (D)s including my Rep. and 3 (R)s)

They also slapped a bunch of amendments on to prohibit funding trans-care procedures.

This sucker would be DOA in the Senate and the Senate already has their own version that would probably be sent to the House as "an Amendment as a Substitute" to whatever garbage, if it passes the House, makes it to the Senate at all.
