JUST IN: A key vote on the Women’s Health Protection Act, a Democrat-led bill aimed at preserving access to abortion nationwide in the United States, has failed in the US Senate

The vote comes as the US Supreme Court may be poised to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling, as indicated by a leaked draft opinion.The final tally was 49 to 51 with moderate Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia, joining with Republicans to vote against the measure and stop it from advancing. The bill's failure to advance was expected amid GOP resistance.

""It would overturn modest and overwhelmingly popular safeguards like waiting periods, informed consent laws and possibly even parental notification," McConnell said of Democrats' bill in remarks on the Senate floor on Monday.Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski, rare Republican abortion-rights supporters, have introduced their own legislation to codify the rights established by Roe into federal law.

Obviously.. who’s for killing people?!?!

Ask yourself why

abortion kinda tough on the child

Thank god now different races will be able to mix and create a world of beautiful people all over the globe especially in those southern States I love it just maybe just maybe everyone will start living as one equal I'm loving this!

This country is so embarrassing!

Major mistakes that were made on false grounds need to be fixed and made right.

Did that vote come with a automatic regular child support deductions from the man who made that child?

It’s time Americans especially American Women organize and vote out those reactionary legislators who want the world to go backwards. If this continues they will soon legalize slavery.

Thank God!

It didn’t fail republicans voted against it and showed Americans who they were remember during elections 😼

Great news

May their chickens come home to roost!!

THIS JUST IN: Fire still hot.

Give all men DNA tests so the government & woman can charge and pin their babies on men hmm? That be okay right?

Lefty wokey Karens wailing and foaming at the mouth is always fun to see 🤣

Where's Big Pharm paying off the Senate who is going to miss out on birth control prescriptions and clinic supplies if Roe is overturned.

Of course it has. At least US women now know without question which Senators to vote into obscurity.

The judges get more protection because they fear protests while women whose lives are in danger lose their protection.

Its time for the guys from the hood to use their manhood and add mixing of the races to this issue. In many wars manhood was used as a means of making a point.

The judges get more protect because they fear protests while women whose lives are in danger lose their protection.

Man am I glad I voted. It was so important and I did it and everything is going so well

Love your network.... show now dedicated to abortions rather than covering the high cost on everything, shortage on baby formula....high cost to keep farms going... but don't wanna make joe look bad

Your what’s wrong with American now !

We will prevail!!! Nobody will control a woman’s body but that woman!!!

Until we see the official vote I do not want to contemplate the repercussions if Roe is overturned. It’s like seeing that new fence around the Supreme Court along with the growing public mistrust.If Roe is overturned there is going be an uproar so loud it will make all of us def.

Republicans want to force women back to the past WAR (Women’s American Revolution) 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

It's a damn good thing someone is preserving the dignity of this country.

Vote vote ...but all this would've not happen if 2015 she had won...vote all elections including local state level ...

It would have been overruled by SCOTUS anyway. It was a pointless exercise from the start. It needs to be a constitutional amendment at this point.

The great thing is that Republicans will have the majority again in the Senate and House in November 2022

Gross

Glad it failed it’s a horrific bill, no reason ever to abortion a baby right before He/She is born. It’s bills like this is why I support pro life. Every time Democrats get an inch they go for a mile.

Good. You don’t want to have kids then don’t have sex. you made the choice when you had sex bud

GOPForcedBirth

Someone tell me why Biden doesn't take a page out of the last guys book and just sign executive orders to make this law...because your system doesn't work, it's not democracy to have the votes of the few control the rights of the country.

Thank god

so glad we voted democrat for nothing

Elon Musk will soon be able to access all Twitter user data, including IP addresses and the content of direct messages. Who’s worried?

Life!

Looks like the Senator from the great State of Virginia is a DINO. Why not switch party? It will be more dignified for him

Mandatory vasectomies

Thanks Chuck for making the decision easier for the judges …😂😂

Politics and elections matter! Democracy is not a once every four years activity. To paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, we need to vote if we want to keep it. Let's not turn back the clock to the 1700s.

READ THE LAW!!! It's against aborting a child as soon as it is out of the uterus!! AFTER ITS BORN! That's MURDER!

Thank you Joe Manchin

Kill killing is a good thing.

2000 mules

Good!!!

Wtf is happening to your Country!

ELON MUSK IS THE NEW CEO OF TWITTER!

Read the bill, as it was written very poorly and included full term abortion! I mean full term murder of unborn children!

Can't wait till November it will be all RED

With this vote it proves that if the GQP retake the Senate women lose the control over their own health care. WAKE THE HELL UP PEOPLE THE GQP WANT US BACK TO TIMES WHERE WOMEN AND POC HAD NO RIGHTS, THEY ONLY WANT WHITE MEN IN CONTROL!

Taking innocent lives is called murder not freedom.

Ladies who voted republican for whatever goddamn reason, remember this the next time you vote.

Good 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍

As usual Chucky Cheese Schumer hasn’t a clue what main stream Americans really think or want and why Democrats will lose BIG TIME.

punishing mfs hittin raw for what especially in a country without good socialized child care

A victory for 'Women Rights'

To all you Libs that point to Europe… most of Europe only allow abortion in the 1st trimester and a lot of countries have a waiting period to think it over. Sorry you can’t kill the baby up to birth.

No symbolic justice, no symbolic peace

AbortionIsNotHealthcare

The USA is returning to the dark ages

Because the bill was horrible. They instead should take up a bill Collins has supported that would guarantee access up to viability which is what we currently have now and which most of the US supports. Most people do not support abortion up to nine months of pregnancy.

They already knew they were gonna lose and that's why they pushed for a vote The Democratic Party's main purpose is to run interference for the Republican party so the left can never get a foothold and free this country From corporations who have a Strangle hold on this governmen

AbolishTheSenate

If you are angry then you need to VOTE BLUE!

Why does it not surprise me? The USA has been controlling the rights of women for hundreds of years. They are no different than the Taliban. Between the GOP & the pro-life nuts, women want to be free to control their life. It’s time to back the ERA ratification once and for all.

N7IRL Republicans are a crime syndicate, example 54,220

So men, who refuse to wear condoms, bust nuts in 2 seconds, cheat on their partner isn’t the problem but the woman is!?

But doesn't the VP have the casting vote in the Senate

Democrats control the Senate, how did this happen?

Now we know who to vote out. Pay attention ladies and gentlemen!! Now they are on record

'The land of the free..!?'

Snuffing out life in the womb is the most vile thing a person could do and liberals support it. That tells a lot about the liberal mindset and how they have a broken moral compass.

Senate fails to advance Women's Health Protection Act, which would've expanded abortion accessWednesday's 51-49 negative vote almost along party lines provided a stark display of the nation’s partisan divide over the landmark court decision and the limits of legislative action. BS. The bipartisan vote against expanding abortion was no'stark display.' I'm so sick & tired of seeing people care about the unborn, yet completely ignoring the serious issue with child homelessness, starvation, education underfunded, the list goes on & on. When are are these pro-life people going to get fed up with the hypocrisy? There is no 'partisan divide'. 80% of the nation remembers and/or believes the stories of the women before Roe and support a woman's right to choose, on BOTH sides of the aisle. Today's vote was more minority rule
