It's a states rights issue until a federal law is passed.

Funny how "Promises Kept" is only applied to GOP actions, we never see it printed when Dems promises are kept...

It's political posturing. In the unlikely event it becomes law, it will be overturned by SCOTUS. Frankly, I am disappointed that Republicans are showing signs of joining Democrats on the low road. On the other hand, taking the low road seems to have worked for Dems.

All SCOTUS said was that there was nothing in the constitution protecting abortion. A federal law banning it (or permitting) would likely stand. I doubt, though, that this bill will ever get a vote even in the right wing House.

There is no banning abortions in this bill. You and your fellow pro-abortionists need to read what is in it and why would anyone disagree with it? From the link........

"On the floor today is legislation sponsored by Rep. Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) aimed at GOP concerns about infants who survive an attempted abortion. It would require health care providers to care for a child who survived an attempted abortion, a situation that is exceedingly rare. Medical providers could face up to five years in prison under the bill. The protection is already codified by a 2002 bipartisan law that solidified that infants have the rights of a full human".

"The measure has 166 GOP cosponsors and has previously passed the House, including in 2018. But the bill has no chance in the Democratic controlled Senate".

"The other measure is a nonbinding “sense of Congress” resolution condemning attacks on anti-abortion facilities, groups, and churches".

Did you even bother to read the article?

Mob rule doesn't make it right. There's a reason the US isn't a pure Democracy. In a pure Democracy, if the majority of the population is stupid, you get stupid laws. The majority of Americans have demonstrated unequivocally that they're stupid, uninformed, selfish and aren't even capable of making decisions that benefit them personally, much less benefit society as a whole in the long term. Basically, you seem to think the lunatics should run the asylum.

Boy, I sure thought that's what we were told.

That's why Roe was overturned, they said.

It's up to the states, they said.

And now this. Trying to federalize abortion law.
