snogged Report: Republicans Give Up On Redefining Rape
"After pressure from women's groups, Democratic politicians and Jon Stewart, the authors of the controversial abortion bill in the House will drop language that appeared to exempt some rape victims from seeking federal help to pay for an abortion."
As you'll see from the article, though, it's not all coming up daisies as the Republicans want to use the original language of the Hyde Amendment and if passed, will limit federal funding on abortions.
But at least it's a small victory.
