House passes abortion rights bill but little chance of becoming law

NEW: The House passed a bill to uphold abortion rights for women, taking swift action in response to a new Texas law that bans nearly all abortions in the state.

The House bill has little chance of becoming law and is largely symbolic given Republican opposition in the Senate.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi holds a news conference just before a House vote on legislation aimed at guaranteeing a woman's right to an abortion, an effort by House Democrats to circumvent a new Texas law that has placed that access under threat, at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., Sept. 24, 2021. Joining Pelosi are, from left, Rep. Sylvia Garcia, Rep. Judy Chu, and Rep.

Pelosi has said taking congressional action would make a"tremendous difference" in Democrats' efforts to maintain access to abortion rights. She called the Supreme Court's decision"shameful."
