May 5, 2022 at 2:18 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that he planned to move on Wednesday to bring up a bill that would codify abortion rights into federal law, moving quickly in the wake of a leaked Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, despite clear evidence that the measure lacks the support to be enacted, the New York Times reports.
Politico: The Senate already took a failed vote in February on nearly identical legislation and theres no reason to think that Wednesdays outcome will be any different the previous vote didnt even receive support from all 50 members of the Democratic caucus.

legal access to abortion is LESS important than (fill in the blank). Be sure that THAT is the message. Beat these fuckers over the head with it.
