Post Politics Now House Republicans vote to restrict abortion rights

One condemns attacks “on pro-life facilities, groups, and churches,” while the other forces medical practitioners to provide care to infants who survive an abortion — a very rare occurrence. Neither is expected to advance in the Senate, but the measures underscore a marked change in messaging on the issue now that Republicans control the House chamber.
