House Will Vote Today on Nancy Pelosi’s Bill Legalizing Abortions Up to Birth
Rebecca Downs with LifeNews reports:
The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote Friday on the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA), which will essentially codify Roe v. Wade, and then some, thus enshrining a so-called right to an abortion into federal law. While the legislation has been introduced for several congresses, it is gaining traction now that Democrats are in control of the House, Senate, and White House. Democrats have also become emboldened after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed for a Texas abortion law to go into effect which restricts abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, at around six weeks.
The legislation has support from the White House as well as the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), according to Alex Gangitano’s reporting for The Hill. During the 2020 campaign, now Joe Biden communicated support for codifying Roe, which was also mentioned on his campaign website.
Pro-life organizations are warning of the steep ramifications in that it will overturn pro-life success.
