Democrats want to legalize abortion again, but bill may not pass Senate

The U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation this Friday to restore the right to abortion in the United States, the first Democratic congressional response to a Supreme Court decision that is expected to be challenged in the Senate.

Following a decision by the highest court in the US to overturn 50 years of legal protections for abortion, a bill passed this Friday in Washington has little chance of becoming law as it is not expected to win support. needed in the Senate.

The bill passed with 219 votes in favor and 210 against, and the Democrat-majority House of Representatives also voted separately in favor of a bill to stop punishing women who decide to travel to another state to have an abortion.
