The US House on Friday passed two bills aimed at protecting abortion access that, given the long odds for the legislation in the Senate, serve primarily as a political marker for Democrats ahead of the November midterm elections.
The bills, passed largely along party lines three weeks after the Supreme Court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision, now head to the Senate, where Republicans are expected to block the legislation if it is called up.
The Women’s Health Protection Act, sponsored by California Representative Judy Chu, would codify the right to an abortion and protect a woman’s ability to end a pregnancy before fetal viability. The other House-passed bill, the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act sponsored by Texas Representative Lizzie Fletcher, focuses on interstate abortion services, and aims to protect people and abortion clinics from prosecution.
