The Women's Health Protection Act of 2022 would enshrine Roe v. Wade into federal law, and The Ensuring Access to Abortion Act would protect a patient's right to travel for legal abortions.
RELATED: The abortion battleground in Texas following Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade
In response to the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade last month, The House of Representatives is set to vote on two bills Friday that would protect abortion access. The Women's Health Protection Act of 2022 would enshrine Roe v. Wade into federal law, and The Ensuring Access to Abortion Act would protect a patient's right to travel for legal abortions. The bills are expected to pass in the Democrat-led House of Representatives, but there are major questions if the bills can pass through the 50-50 split Senate to reach President Joe Biden's desk. Already, a number of GOP-controlled states have moved quickly to curtail or outlaw abortion, while states controlled by Democrats have sought to champion access. Ahead of voting, Democrats highlighted the case of a 10-year-old girl who had to cross state lines from Ohio into Indiana to get an abortion after being raped, calling it an example of how the court's decision is already having severe consequences.

Hello 👋.
IMPEACH PELOSI
Who’s getting those women pregnant in the first place? Someone needs to talk to those guys!
Exactly…and make sure they get the same rights as women to have no obligation at conception for the child if they chose they don’t want it.
50 years too late. Good luck.
She’s mad because nobody wants her.
210 republican men and women are history.
Hello Michelle. How are you doing today
If women get the right to abort, then EQUALITY dictates men should get the right to disavow unwanted babies and not pay child support.
Time for FAIR & BALANCED LAWS
Exactly! If it’s a pile of cells the men have the same equal right to want no obligation to the child that will grow out of it.
