Democrats propose $1.75B abortion travel subsidy to get around ‘extreme’ state laws
Fox News
A new Democratic bill would offer $1.75B in federal subsidies to travel to different states to get abortions, after the Supreme Court left abortion policy to the states.
The two senators said the bill would give women more options after the Supreme Court stuck down Roe v. Wade and left it up to states to regulate abortion as they see fit. Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.
"In overturning Roe and passing one extreme state abortion ban after the next, Republicans have unleashed a full-fledged health care crisis that is jeopardizing women’s health and forcing them to stay pregnant against their will," said Murray. "This moment calls for bold solutions — and that’s why I’ve proposed creating a new, historic abortion fund and why I’m proud to cosponsor Senator Baldwin’s bill to help get women the abortion care they need."
