But without a 60 vote majority in the Senate, it's unlikely the bill will become law
to become law on Wednesday, Democrats are hoping that they can use a piece of proposed legislation to protect abortion rights at the federal level.On Thursday, Nancy Pelosi announced that the House of Representatives would be voting on the bill in question,, when they return from their recess later in September.
