Just three weeks after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide and led to the slaughter of millions of innocent children over the course of the last five decades, Democrats in the House of Representatives have jammed through two extremely radical bills on the issue of abortion.
Again, folks, with Roe out of the way, that doesn’t mean the fight is over. Clearly, the left is fighting tooth and nail to preserve the legality of killing innocent pre-born children. It seems Democrats just can’t get enough blood shed.
According to the Daily Wire, every member of the GOP in Congress voted against the Women’s Health Protection Act, along with one solitary Democrat, Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar who also voted against the legislation last September when it was brought up for a vote.
The bill is now on its way to the Senate, where, thankfully, it’s almost guaranteed to fail because of opposition from both Republicans and moderate Democrats.
“The house also passed the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act which prohibits any restrictions blocking out-of-state travel to obtain abortions. Three Republicans voted for the legislation, which now heads to the senate,” the report said.
“Democrats are once again doubling down on their efforts to nationally enshrine abortion at the expense of democratically passed state laws, our Constitutional order, and the natural, pre-political right to one’s own life,” Republican Texas Rep. Chip Roy said in a statement given to The Daily Wire on Friday.
Roy issued a warning that this “aggressive action” is supposed to “appease the most radical, profit-driven elements of the abortion industry.”
“It only strengthens the argument for federal action to protect this fundamental right for our unborn fellow Americans,” he then said.

Here’s a bit more about the bills from The Daily Wire report:
The Women’s Health Protection Act effectively codifies Roe, banning most government restrictions on abortion, specifically noting that the government may not limit an abortionist’s ability to prescribe abortion drugs or offer “abortion services via telemedicine.”
The bill also bans the government from requiring abortionists to “perform unnecessary medical procedures,” which could be interpreted as banning ultrasounds prior to an abortion, or “provide medically inaccurate information,” possibly banning telling the mother that her baby can be saved through an abortion reversal pill if she regrets her decision.
Experts on the pro-life side of the spectrum have warned that it is an extreme piece of legislation “more radical than Roe.”
“If enacted, the Women’s Health Protection Act would endanger essentially all state-level abortion restrictions, existing state and federal conscience protection laws, and various provisions limiting taxpayer funding for abortions,” Heritage Foundation policy analyst Melanie Israel went on to say in a warning she issued earlier in the year.
We’re already seeing the horrific consequences of the Republican’s extreme agenda to criminalize women’s health freedom.

“This legislation will prevent the GOP from criminalizing, fining, or suing women who exercise their Constitutionally protected right to travel across state lines to obtain an abortion,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) went on to say when discussing the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act. “A woman’s health decisions are her own to make, not to be dictated by far-right politicians. House Democrats will continue fighting ferociously to defend Americans’ fundamental freedoms and ensure the central holdings of Roe v. Wade become the law of the land.”
Sickening.
At least the bill is likely to fail.
Hopefully, we can get a conservative majority in both the House and Senate later this year and take measures to ensure these kinds of bills die permanently.
