House Democrats Try to Squeeze GOP on Abortion

“House Democrats plan to introduce a discharge petition next week to try to force a vote on legislation to protect abortion access,” Axios reports.

“The petition would force a vote on the Women’s Health Protection Act, a bill that would codify a nationwide right to an abortion before viability.”

“Even if the discharge petition is signed by all 213 Democrats, it would still need five Republican signatures to force a vote.”
