Republicans plan to bring H.R. 7 — the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act bill — to the House floor Wednesday.

H.R. 7 and its companion, S. 946, would impose a permanent ban on use of any program funded through the annual Labor, Health and Human Services Appropriations Act to pay for elective abortions.
