Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Monday that he will hold a vote to federally protect a woman’s right to have an abortion.
The proposed legislation would enshrine a woman’s national right to have an abortion if it’s done before the third trimester of the pregnancy. The procedural step is the Senate’s third action related to reproductive health care this month, after Senate Republicans blocked the Right to Contraception Act and the Right to IVF Act.
The vote is expected to take place next month, because the Senate will go on a two-week recess next week, and will remain out for the first week of July.
