With the November election on the horizon, the stark contrast between Republicans and Democrats over pro-life legislation is intensifying on Capitol Hill. This week, several Republican Senators took to the floor attempting to pass a number of bills to protect the lives of the unborn, but were quickly blocked by Democrats. Monday will mark the two-year anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision that struck down Roe, and sent the abortion issue back to each individual state. Senator James Lankford says, "They didn't want to see fewer abortions in America, they wanted to see as many or more. So the Biden administration opened up for the first time VA hospitals to provide abortions, even late term abortions." Meanwhile, Democrats are seeking to overhaul an 1873 federal law that bans abortion-related materials from being sent through the mail, they're worried that a future Trump administration could invoke the Comstock Act to crack down on abortion access or effectively ban the procedure altogether. Capitol Hill Correspondent Erik Rosales reports.
