No, Mags. Pelosi never included abortion-related issues in the coronavirus legislation in the first place. So, it could not possibly be 'backed out'.
Instead, the hold-out Republicans wanted language addressing and prohibiting abortion lab test reimbursement inserted into the coronavirus legislation.
My understanding is that the Republican hold-outs' requests/demands were acknowledged, pushed aside, and addressed in a separate forum so the critical coronavirus legislation could move forward.
If that is, in fact, how Pelosi and Mnuchin kept the coronvirus legislation from getting derailed, good on them.
