House Will Vote Tomorrow on Nancy Pelosi’s Bill Legalizing Abortions Up to Birth

The U.S. House of Representatives is set to vote Friday on the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA), which will essentially codify Roe v. Wade, and then some, thus enshrining a so-called right to an abortion into federal law. While the legislation has been introduced for several congresses, it is gaining traction now that Democrats are in control of the House, Senate, and White House. Democrats have also become emboldened after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed for a Texas abortion law to go into effect which restricts abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, at around six weeks.

The legislation has support from the White House as well as the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), according to Alex Gangitano’s reporting for The Hill. During the 2020 campaign, now President Joe Biden communicated support for codifying Roe, which was also mentioned on his campaign website.

Pro-life organizations are warning of the steep ramifications in that it will overturn pro-life success.

The text of the bill itself reads that “A health care provider has a statutory right under this Act to provide abortion services, and may provide abortion services, and that provider’s patient has a corresponding right to receive such services, without any of the following limitations or requirements,” before going on to list numerous examples of pro-life regulations and restrictions on abortions.

It also states that “this Act supersedes and applies to the law of the Federal Government and each State government…”

Commentary from Melanie Israel at the Heritage Foundation highlights how it amounts to more than just codifying Roe. She writes that the “egregious mischaracterization… understates just how radical the proposal actually is” and warns that the legislation “goes far beyond the already permissive regime permitted under America’s existing abortion jurisprudence.”
