Senate To Vote Next Week On Protecting Abortion Rights

The video discusses the potential impact of overturning Roe v. Wade, with half of the US expected to ban or limit abortions. It covers the Women's Health Protection Act of 2022, which aims to ensure abortion access across all states. The bill is similar to a previous one that failed in the Senate, largely due to the filibuster and party-line voting. Despite expected failure, Democrats plan to hold a vote to publicly record senators' positions on abortion rights. The video also explores the possibility of changing filibuster rules to pass the bill.
