Pelosi and Abortion-Loving Lawmakers Want Federal Protection for the Life-Ending Procedure Penny Starr 15 Sep 2021
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said the House will vote on a bill entitled the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021. If made law, it would protect the right to perform or undergo an abortion, a procedure that kills hundreds of thousands of female babies every year.
The move comes in response to the state of Texas passing a law that protects the unborn once a heartbeat can be detected.
The Texas Tribune opined about the pro-life law and how mostly Democrats in Congress want to federalize abortion:
The Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021, introduced by Rep. Judy Chu of California, would guarantee a pregnant person’s legal right to abortion and “permit health care providers to provide abortion services without limitations or requirements that single out the provision of abortion services.” Though the proposed legislation is expected to pass the House with a slim majority, it faces unlikely odds in the Senate.
While Democrats hold a majority of 50 seats in the Senate, the bill would need 60 votes to break a potential filibuster — a Senate procedure allowing members to delay or prevent votes on proposed legislation. With only two Republican senators who have previously supported abortion rights, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, there is no indication Democrats would be able to pick up eight votes across the aisle.
