The Republicans’ health care hopes are riding on the must-pass bills.

House Republicans’ Food and Agriculture spending bill would ban mail delivery of abortion pills and deregulate the tobacco industry. Their Foreign Operations bill would defund the World Health Organization. And multiple bills would bar access to gender-affirming care.

Democrats are largely counting on the Senate to act as a “firewall” against the House health proposals, setting up a clash in the coming months when the two chambers must reconcile their differences. But some in the party fear they may be forced to compromise to keep the government open because of the sheer number of riders Republicans are attaching to the spending bills. said House attempts to insert riders into the spending bills “will not fly” in her committee and Sen.

“We’ll see where we land on that, but that’s definitely a debate within our own caucus,” she said. “But we have to wake up to the reality that we are in. Whether our Democrats in the Senate block all of these ill-conceived riders, this is going to be part of the negotiations that will take place sometime this year on every single one of the 12 bills.”

GOP members leading the charge insist the moves are an appropriate response to the Biden administration’s efforts to protect and expand abortion rights post-through agency rules and executive actions, including support for military members’ travel to states where abortion is legal and the elimination of some Trump-era restrictions on foreign aid to organizations that counsel patients on abortion., the vice chair of the Appropriations Committee, told POLITICO.

Conservative groups working with House Republicans are also urging members to push for a range of international and domestic policy changes in the spending bills — from World Health Organization funding to vaccine mandate — stressing that it’s their best and possibly only chance of getting the measures through.
