House Republicans voted to eliminate a Pentagon policy that makes it easier for service members to obtain abortions.
The House voted largely along party lines 221-213 in tacking on the restriction to a larger must-pass bill funding the Pentagon.
Only two House Republicans, Reps. John Duarte of California and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, broke with the party.
House Republicans have a number of other amendment votes to press through Thursday evening.
CNN's Melanie Zanona wrote that the inclusion of the abortion restrictions will lead the final House vote to be extremely one-sided.
