The House of Representatives is expected to vote on the Women’s Health Protection Act on Friday with the expectation that it is likely to fail in the split Senate.
In a largely symbolic move, Democrats are looking to vote on the measure in order to represent their willingness to codify the Supreme Court decision of Roe v. Wade into law as the high court could potentially overturn the decision that effectively legalized abortion across the country in 1973.
Democrats might see this as a potentially important issue in the midterm elections and are securing a vote this year in order to show pro-abortion voters that they are willing to take action if the Supreme Court rules against the precedent established in Roe v. Wade and instead allows states to decide their own abortion laws.
As The New York Times reported, “Democrats moved swiftly to schedule action on the measure after the court refused this month to block a Texas law that prohibits most abortions after six weeks of gestation. It would guarantee the right to abortion through federal law, pre-empting hundreds of state laws governing the procedure around the country.”
“It became very evident that we needed to have something that would push back against all these state restrictions,” said Representative Judy Chu (D-CA), who is the top author of the legislation. “We could see that change was possible at the Supreme Court, and we knew we had to make sure that Roe v. Wade was protected.”
Don’t make it political. It is up to the woman to decide and only her. Keep the politician out of it!!!!
More research and development in a ” CAREFREE ” long-lasting fertility suppressor for males and females that have ” CARELESS ” recreational primordial relations would be a better investment. No one that knows anything likes the idea of abortions and they have elusive names for them now. Personally, I’d rather my tax dollars terminate uselessly drug conceived unwanted and retarded life from pleasure-mongering Primates. For all the faithful that think every little Cherbuesque baby life is sacred…..remember your own applying Myth …..Christ was born by Miracle to Virgin………..Yeah RIGHT . Nature and Natural Selection is Cruel our First World Nations boarders are overrun with desperate to survive DNA. Human life is just a plague in what was once your imagined gifted paradise Garden. There’s no turning back now we were banished once. We should adopt older precedents of sacrifice and rejoice in them
Dirty corrupt House ran by Devil Pelosi are doing Whatever they want so far , since Day One of Biden !!!!
