Vice President Kamala Harris will be in Philadelphia on Saturday for a roundtable discussion about reproductive rights. Siafa_Lewis has the details.
PHILADELPHIA — The Democratic-led house passed two bills Friday aimed at protecting access to abortion at the federal level. This comes three weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and ahead of a high-profile member of the White House’s Saturday visit to Philadelphia.
House Democrats, all of them women, gathered on the steps of the U.S. Capitol moments before the House of Representatives approved the two bills aimed at protecting women’s rights to abortion as well as their access to them, regardless of what state they live in.The Women’s Health Protection Act also prevents states from imposing limits on abortions that would make them more difficult or costly to obtain. Republicans objected.
“Mid to late-term abortion is a barbaric procedure which can include dismemberment of the baby and crushing of the skull,” Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks said.
