Jul 10, 2024, 06:52 PM

Senate Republicans have blocked the Reproductive Freedom for Women Act, a bill aimed at codifying the protections of Roe v. Wade into federal law. The vote, held on July 10, 2024, saw Democrats pushing for the legislation to protect women's reproductive rights, including access to abortion, contraception, and IVF. Despite the Democrats' efforts, the bill was not passed, highlighting the ongoing partisan divide on this issue. Senate Democrats have vowed to continue fighting for reproductive freedoms, while Republicans, who form the majority, have been criticized for their stance on women's health care rights and adherence to the MAGA extremist agenda. The vote was a simple yes-or-no decision.
