House Republicans announced Thursday that they are taking a step back from a particularly controversial passage of a piece of anti-abortion legislation that many had criticized as a dangerous redefinition of the acts that constitutedRepublicans trying to nitpick definitions of “rape” in order to limit access to the procedure. Needless to say, the outrage was fast and furious.
"The word 'forcible' will be replaced with the original language from the Hyde Amendment," a spokesman for Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), one of the sponsors of H.R. 3. The "No Taxpayer Funding For Abortion Act," told Politico.
Another example of backtracking because of how clueless the Republicans are, or a cynical attempt to (again) show they are willing to “compromise?" Here's an instance when we should assume both, and call them to task from both directions.
