CNN’s Bash Presses McConnell To Concede to Democrats on Abortion Language in Human Trafficking Bill (NewsBusters)

Despite McConnell pointing out that the language of the bill always included a provision banning funding for abortion, which meant Democrats admitted to never reading the legislation, Bash pressed the Republican to cave and asked “why not just take it out and continue this bipartisan process?”
