The Senate did not advance a bill codifying Roe v. Wade into law on Monday. Some Democrats plan to tout the vote anyway
and would remove portions of the WHPA that they found too broad. In the end, though, they both voted against the bill.
“This vote comes at a really critical time,” Democratic Sen. Patty Murray, chair of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, said in a press conference ahead of the vote. “Republicans are actually hoping Roe will fall. And of course we know that’s been their plan all along. Republicans have made it abundantly clear that they want a world in which, they, as politicians, get to decide what women can do with their bodies, their lives and their futures.
Despite the vote count, the situation was the best outcome that Democrats could have hoped for right now, and could actually help them campaign against Republicans, says Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. “It’s laying the groundwork for a very powerful contrast,” she says.
