Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are at odds with each other, and National Journal has the details:

Tensions are roiling between Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi over an unusual point of contention for the two top Democrats: abortion policy.

The fight is serious enough that it could kill the House Minority Leader’s ambitious deal with Republicans on the so-called "doc fix."

Even as Senate Democrats waged war over an expansion of the Hyde Amendment—which prevents federal funds from being used to cover abortions—on a human trafficking bill last week, Pelosi was penning a deal with Speaker John Boehner to eliminate the Medicare "sustainable growth rate" that includes another controversial Hyde Amendment provision.

Harry Reid is having none of this compromise talk, though. He’s happy being just as obstinate as always:

Reid has made unambiguously clear to his counterpart in the House that such a deal would be unacceptable. And Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, who has championed a permanent solution for SGR—a routine congressional headache—indicated last week that Hyde-like language would be a "complete nonstarter" (though an aide emphasized that Wyden’s statement was based on reports and that he hadn’t seen the official language or discussed it with Pelosi).

This is just another example of Harry Reid’s failed leadership.
