Democrats held their second hearing this week on Thursday in the House Oversight and Reform Committee about their urgent need to pass legislation giving women unlimited access to abortion, up to nine months. The hearings are in response to abortion laws like the one recently enacting in Texas that limit abortions to the first few weeks of pregnancy.

Chairman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) said it is urgent the Senate pass the Women’s Health Protection Act because of all the “extremist” state abortion laws being filed and the “hostile” Supreme Court, referring to the conservative majority.
