"Shame on Senate Democrats who exploited COVID-19 relief to expand taxpayer-funded abortion on demand, breaking with more than four decades of bipartisan consensus." -Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List

Senator Ron Johnson, R-WI, also forced the 628-page bill to be read aloud in the Senate chambers Thursday, which took 11 hours.

"We thank Senators Daines and Lankford for their heroic efforts to fix this bill, as well as the three Senate Democrats who stood up to extremists in their party and voted with all their Republican colleagues in favor of Hyde protections, showing that life is not a partisan issue."
