Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced a plan Thursday to force a vote on legislation that would codify Roe v. Wade – following the release earlier this week of a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion indicating justices may soon overturn the high-court’s decades-old abortion-related ruling.
The legislation will almost certainly not pass in the vote set for next week because it needs 60 “yeahs” to advance, considering only 50 of the upper chamber’s 100 members are Democrats.
However, Democrats, who have a 51-member majority when including Vice President Kamala Harris, can force a vote that will put Republicans on record about their opposition to the longstanding precedent on abortion rights resulting from the high court’s 1973 ruling.
“Next week the U.S. Senate is going to vote on legislation to codify a woman’s right to seek abortion into federal law,” Schumer said Thursday on the Senate floor.
The New York Democrat intends to set up the bill Monday with an aim for an initial vote on Wednesday. read more
Those Republicans know or should know they had better not vote for this crap.
The Magic Halfrican had a 60 Demonrat Senate and could xtill not “codify” the genocide of babies. Chuck is doing what Chuck always does, he is posturturing for political points.
Fuck Chuck and every Demonrat baby killer. The entire Demonrat party is satanic to its core.
The D’s will be able to pry off Romney, Murkowski, Collins, and probably Graham, but that still won’t get them to 60.
I would ALMOST bet 51 votes, with MINO (Mormon In Name Only) Mittens (Romney) casting his vote with the DildoCrats.
But I’m not sure that even MINO Mittens would defy the majority Mormons in Utah with a pro-abortion vote.
upChuck is a great argument FOR post-birth abortions.
Susy Collins won’t join the dems on this one.

Even she knows there aren’t enough RINOs willing to give up the Republican façade by voting for federal abortion and she’s not going to commit herself for something that can be and should be addressed at the state level.
Shouldn’t FU Shroomer be working to pass legislation that betters the lives of the American people instead?
LOL!
The ghouls want taxpayer funded abortion on demand right up to the moment of birth. People with a soul disagree.
So the Court rules that abortion is not within the scope of Federal governmental powers, and Schumer wants to force a vote on it? What cereal box did this genius get his law degree from?
Have a special session where you vote for it on Sunday.
Mother’s Day.
Your boss satan will appreciate the irony.
Is this just more kabuki theater? If SCOTUS knocks down RvW doesn’t that de-facto mean they recognize abortion as a 10th amendment issue? If so NO federal law can be held Constitutional. Am I wrong?
Hey! Don’t forget Senator Portman…he can always be counted on to fuck over the American people, even the unborn ones
The minions of Baal will have their way, no after what…babies must die or the ancient death gods will be upset with them. Congress is the temple of baal.
