July 17, 2001 | WASHINGTON (AP) --

A Republican-controlled House committee voted Tuesday to let federal workers' health-insurance plans continue covering prescription contraceptives, ignoring President Bush's proposal to halt the practice.

The House Appropriations Committee's overwhelming 40-21 vote, including 12 Republicans who voted "yes," would directly affect only 1.2 million female federal employees of childbearing age. Even so, the action was a setback for Bush and seemed to draw a line on how far Congress' anti-abortion forces can go.
