Senate fails to advance bill to guarantee abortion access nationwide
Fox News
A Democratic-led bill to guarantee abortion access nationwide failed to advance in the Senate Wednesday in a show vote designed to draw sharp political lines ahead of the midterm elections.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., pushed a vote on the legislation after a leaked Supreme Court opinion signaled the court would overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade opinion that legalized abortion nationwide. He called the bill "urgent" to prevent states from passing extreme anti-abortion legislation that "would send women's rights back into the Stone Age."
