The Senate will vote during the week of May 9 on a bill that would codify a right to access to abortion into law if passed, the top Democrat in the chamber said May 3.
“A vote on this legislation is no longer an abstract exercise. It’s as urgent and real as it gets. We will vote to protect a woman’s right to choose. Every American is going to see where every senator stands. Which side are they on?” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) told reporters at the U.S. Capitol in Washington.
