, setting the bill up for a procedural roll call vote on Wednesday. The bill cleared the House last year but already failed once to pass through the upper chamber in February, when Schumer failed to get the entire Democratic caucus on board, in a 46-48 vote.
Collins and Murkowski have their own proposal to codify Roe called the Reproductive Choice Act, which they say would prohibit states from imposing an"undue burden" on the ability of a woman to choose to terminate a pregnancy pre-viability but allow states to keep other restrictions in place. However, 17 abortion-rights groups this week said would not protect the right to abortion.
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., told ABC News' Trish Turner on Tuesday he’s been negotiating with Collins since last week to try to change the Reproductive Choice Act to find a way in federal law to protect access to abortion and contraception.Sen. Susan Collins speaks with Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the Senate in Washington, June 17, 2021.
"We would like to codify the set of holdings beginning with Griswold up through the Whole Women's Health case,” Kaine said of the bipartisan effort, referring to the Supreme Court case Griswold v. Connecticut upholding a constitutional marital right of privacy. But that measure, again, would need 60 votes to overcome a GOP filibuster.
We are already in a dark administration Chucky. All of you anti Americans on the left put us here. I have never in my long lifetime heard America say “ We can’t get food to feed our new born children”. And now your pushing to kill babies? Shameful!!!
I have served this nation for more than 2 decades with honor, loyalty, integrity, and dedication. To see all these current events, and where the future of this nation is heading leaves me in a state of disbelief and uncertainty.
As a woman...I can say 'This is false information'. Today is a good day for the rights of the unborn!
I am pro choice but allowing abortions in the ninth month is killing a human. Do not tell me I’m a MAGA supporter because I won’t support abortion up to the moment before birth. Disgusting.
What a joke
SCHUMER is a dark soul, wherever he went for years it has been dark.
MAGA - Make Affordable Gas Again
God have mercy on your soul..
The Senate is taking this vote so Americans can see that EVERY Republican believes that the government should be in control of every American citizens' medical decisions. The GOP is the party of government controlled health care and forced birth, this vote cements that truth.
Disgrace
Mr. Schumer I am sure your grandchildren will find a way to abort their children so not to worry.

THE BIG LIE: ANTI-ABORTION LAWS PREVENT ABORTIONS. THE BIG DUPE: WOMEN EXCHANGING THEIR FREEDOM FOR BELIEF IN AN IMPOSSIBILITY. THE BIG WIN: CONTROL OF WOMEN BY PATRIARCHAL STATE.
They need to do another one when this one fails, and another, and another, until Nov. 22, so it stays on the front burner, and the country can see clearly who is attacking them.
