Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has initiated the process for a vote on the Reproductive Freedom for Women Act, which aims to reestablish a national right to abortion before the third trimester by codifying the protections of Roe v. Wade. This action follows previous votes on legislation protecting women's access to contraception and in vitro fertilization, which were blocked by Republicans. The upcoming vote is expected next month as the Senate goes on a two-week recess. Schumer criticized Republicans for aligning with extremist views on reproductive rights while they argue the Democratic bills were drafted too broadly with unacceptable provisions.
