House backs Bush on abortion policy in aid bill
The House approved the abortion funding ban attached to the State Department bill by 218 to 210 with 32 Democrats crossing the aisle. It also passed a Santos amendment to withhold Lebanon aid until borders near Israel are secured, and to push a plan to cut more aid if necessary within six months. The vote sparked intense debate over international family planning and free speech tied to the global gag rule.
