Schumer Calls for Abortion Vote Next Week
May 5, 2022 at 2:18 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that “he planned to move on Wednesday to bring up a bill that would codify abortion rights into federal law, moving quickly in the wake of a leaked Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, despite clear evidence that the measure lacks the support to be enacted,” the New York Times reports.

Politico: “The Senate already took a failed vote in February on nearly identical legislation and there’s no reason to think that Wednesday’s outcome will be any different — the previous vote didn’t even receive support from all 50 members of the Democratic caucus.“

6. If Dems aren't united on this, then the message is clear:

legal access to abortion is LESS important than (fill in the blank). Be sure that THAT is the message. Beat these fuckers over the head with it.
