HuffPost
They control all of government, but the Senate filibuster could stop them from taking any major action.
President Joe Biden and congressional Democrats swiftly condemned Texas Republicans this week for a newly enacted state law that bans abortions after six weeks and even awards money to people who report on someone assisting another person terminating a pregnancy. Democrats have made it clear they don’t support the policy or the Supreme Court’s decision to let the law stand while challenges move through the courts. Now they have to decide whether to actually do something about it. There are a few options, none of them easy. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced Thursday that Democrats will vote on the Women’s Health Protection Act, a bill that would enshrine abortion rights into federal law.More Related News
