FILE - This Jan. 28, 2014 file photo shows House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, left, accompanied by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor of Va. speaking at Republican National Committee headquarters in Washington. President Barack Obama is working to put two major emerging trade deals with Europe and Asia on a “fast track” to passage. But many congressional Democrats are working to sidetrack the proposed pacts ahead of this year’s U.S. midterm elections.

FILE - In this Jan. 15, 2014 file photo is Republican Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad in West Des Moines, Iowa. Iowa's GOP-led House and the Democratic-controlled Senate put Branstad personally in charge of signing off on any payments for publicly funded abortions. About seven months later Branstad hasn't approved any payments but patients eligible for Medicaid-funded abortions received them anyway because the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics simply decided not to bill the state for the procedures.
