Two years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, lawmakers remain sharply divided regarding access to emergency abortions when a woman is miscarrying.
That difference was on full display Tuesday as Republican lawmakers blocked a Democrat-led floor resolution that highlighted a need for emergency health care, including abortions. Hours earlier, Republican lawmakers in a Senate Finance Committee hearing argued that “misinformation” has created a culture where physicians are afraid to treat pregnant patients experiencing complications.
In Wisconsin, meanwhile, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris called to eliminate the Senate filibuster to make it easier to codify Roe, echoing a call made earlier by President Joe Biden.
