[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Republicans: Biden's inflation is sky high!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also Republicans: Federal employees shouldn't get any increase in pay because there is no inflation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/quote]
Republicans don’t appear to be fighting the pay increase.

They’re focused on reducing telework (not unreasonable) and eliminating coverage of employee abortions and transgender surgeries (lol).[/quote]
None of the federal insurance plans cover abortions. What are you blathering about? [/quote]
Just quoting the article which you didn’t bother to read:

“The bill also targets telework, options in the TSP’s mutual fund window, and FEHB coverage for abortions and gender-affirming care for transgender individuals.”[/quote]
Please point out which Federal insurance plan currently covers voluntary abortions. I’ll wait.[/quote]
I was just summarizing the article, I have no idea why you're getting so riled up over abortion.  It doesn't matter to me what the federal plans cover.  The fact is the GOP seems to be focusing on denying abortion coverage (whatever impact that may or may not have) rather than denying a pay raise, which is probably a good thing for federal workers, since this will go nowhere in the Senate.

The House appropriations bill discussed in the article contains the following provisions:

"SEC. 613. No funds appropriated by this Act shall be available to pay for an abortion, or the administrative expenses in connection with any health plan under the Federal employees health benefits program which provides any benefits or coverage for abortions.

SEC. 614. The provision of section 613 shall not apply where the life of the mother would be endangered if the fetus were carried to term, or the pregnancy is the result of an act of rape or incest."

You were parroting misinformation.[/quote]
How is summarizing a legislative proposal misinformation?[/quote]
Because federal plans don’t cover elective abortions.[/quote]
No one said they do!  The GOP’s proposal contains a statutory prohibition on such coverage, now and in the future.[/quote]
