Schumer Calls for Abortion Vote Next Week

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that “he planned to move on Wednesday to bring up a bill that would codify abortion rights into federal law, moving quickly in the wake of a leaked Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, despite clear evidence that the measure lacks the support to be enacted,” the New York Times reports.

Politico: “The Senate already took a failed vote in February on nearly identical legislation and there’s no reason to think that Wednesday’s outcome will be any different — the previous vote didn’t even receive support from all 50 members of the Democratic caucus.“
