In a 51-49 vote, the Senate failed to pass federal abortion rights legislation Wednesday. The vote comes after a leaked opinion draft from conservative SCOTUS justices overturning Roe v. Wade. Read more:

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa said the abortion bill before the Senate is being discussed for"political purposes."

He said that Democrats are using the leaked Supreme Court document to"push radical legislation" that goes beyond the public opinion and common-sense abortion laws. While in Oklahoma over the weekend, Lankford had a conversation with an individual who is pro-choice and wanted to discuss abortion rights. He shared part of their conversation on the Senate floor.

Do y’all ever think about ectopic pregnancies? Or young girls who are raped or even trafficked? Or women who know that pregnancy and/or childbirth will kill them? No..you only think about yourselves.

On what the heck is going with this about abortion and Constitution probably doesn't say that because they wanted women have their own rights it doesn't that make sense

51 - 49 the senate was successful and the majority wins...

Yeah

WAR (Women’s American Revolution) Republicans want to force women back to the past when women were totally dependent on men. Women could not vote and only held jobs as secretaries or maids. Women could not even own property because they were viewed as property.

Wow Lisa and Susan are really simping for the old white men here.

Yes!

We are at a turning point. Most people thought civil war would start with MAGA but leftists are the ones that will turn cities to ash when Row gets smacked down

This government NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED.. this whole government needs to be thrown out!! AbortionRightsAreHumanRights WomensRightsAreHumanRights ProtectWomensRights

Damn right! AllHeartbeatsMatter

Who's health protection. I was adopted my biological mother gave me birth it did not affect her health whatsoever. But at the age of 30 when I met her she certainly didn't have to feel guilty to talk to me about giving me life.

Hello

Thankyou senators for your morals.

I bet she knows a lot about abortions!!!!

SenSchumer this vote only proved ONE thing. The Republicans always vote 100% against anything Democrats bring forward. I wish you had the same control!

I love how Republicans are keeping women in check and keeping them in the kitchen where they belong! Hopefully our Supreme Court gets rid of these bogus women’s rights! Women are the property of men! That’s Gods rule!

ProWomensLives

Good for you America

In a 51-49 vote, the Senate failed. End of line.

Vote blue if you don't want to go back to women dying aborting unwanted pregnancies

No cackling this time...

republicans want to talk about the leak not the sick law that put women back over 50 yrs. Remove everyonr of them from government

The look of disappointment on the face of DoNothingHarris fills me with so much joy.

So disturbing

👍👍👍

Praise to all those who stopped this from happening, we all owe you big one

Honestly I am not really surprised given Manchin and Sinema are traitors. Democrats however they need to learn the lesson of why the electoral college, filibuster and illegal Trump appointments to the Supreme Court and Federal Judges must be all abolished along with his pardons

What angers me more is these sob in the minority have the power to block the will of the majority in this country because of all the road blocks and cheats they set up. They have to get rid of these obstacles if things are going to get done

Democrats have to learn the lesson as long as the electoral college, filibuster stand the will of the majority can be blocked by the minority in this country. An expansion of power in the Senate is needed to get rid of Manchin and Sinema and the filibuster

Congratulations! Republican Senators just voted that a woman has no say in what they can do with their bodies, based on pressure from those who believe the choice should instead be made by an invisible man in the sky. RoeVWade

Don’t you just love the sound of defeat in her voice?

July 13th EarlyVoting begins in KANSAS ending August 2nd. This is a DEMOCRATIC PROLIFE Primary & WedgeIssue Election. I'm the only ProlifeDemocrat running. You must REGISTER as Democrat to VOTE for SoetaertMichael. VOTE YES to ValueThemBoth.🗳

Perfect. No more dead babies being cut up and sucked out to a sink. Good on Republicans.

If democrats were serious they would've codified Roe a decade ago when they owned both chambers and the whitehouse, they did fuck-all with their majority

Senate Democrats put abortion-rights bill to the test WednesdayDemocrats in the U.S. Senate plan to force a vote on Wednesday on legislation codifying women's rights to abortion nationwide, a protest gesture that is almost certain to fail ahead of an expected Supreme Court decision to end those protections. Hey , other non-Sinclair media news organizations label their opinion articles as “OPINION”, you should look into that.

Senate fails to pass abortion rights bill — againThe largely symbolic vote to codify abortion protections didn't even garner a simple Senate majority, falling on the same lines a previous bill did in February. Senate fails. Abortion without health reasons or because the parents can't take responsibility for a little baby is: Democrats legacy is failure. The party that will be remembered for handing Trump the presidency (probably twice, judging by the current polls) and for allowing women to become 2nd class citizens on their watch.

Tim Ryan, Ohio’s Democratic Senate candidate, renews call to end filibuster to protect abortion rightsRep. Tim Ryan, Ohio’s Democratic Senate nominee, has joined more than 100 other House Democrats in calling to end the filibuster rule to pass a federal law protecting abortion rights in the face of the possible future overturning of Roe v. Wade. “We should change the rules bc we can’t win.” Good luck with that campaign strategy. Democrats - remind us. Is the filibuster essential to the future democracy of the country or is overturning it essential to the future democracy of the country? You have made both arguments in recent history. 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 🤡 You lost on a simple majority vote. Filibuster is irrelevant as is Tim Ryan.
