Senate Democrats Will Hold Vote on Bill for Abortions Up to Birth Nationwide

Democrats ae holding a vote tonight on a measure that would allow killing unborn babies in abortions up to birth nationwide.

Democrats in the U.S. Senate plan to hold a vote tonight on a measure that would allow a pro-abortion bill to advance in the chamber. The bill, S 4554, the Reproductive Freedom for Women Act, was sponsored by abortion advocate Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat from Washington state, and has 40 Democrats saying they want to push unlimited abortions up to birth on America.

Democrats need 60 votes tonight to force the Senate to vote on the bill itself, though Republicans are expected to be able to stop them.

The bill calls for “the protections enshrined in  Roe v. Wade” to be “restored and built upon, moving towards a future where there is reproductive freedom for all.” That essentially allows abortions up to birth unless states protect babies from late-term abortions.

Frank Pavone of Priests for Life told LifeNews the bill is confirmation Democrats are pro-abortion radicals.

“This bill is not as radically pro-abortion as the Women’s Health Protection Act but the phrase “restored and built” is a clear sign that this bill is just an opening salvo in the Democrats’ war on the unborn. Even more importantly, if passed, it likely would supersede any state laws that have been passed since the 2022 Dobbs decision to protect babies, their mothers, and minor girls,” he said.

“Tonight’s vote is expected to fall short of the 60 votes needed. The Republican senators (with perhaps an annoying exception) will stand firm,” he added.” But that’s no reason for individual citizens to be silent. Let’s show how strong our resistance is to this pro-abortion insanity!”
