The House has passed the women`s health protection act which codifies Roe. We can pass it again. The Senate -- I think it`s very important for the Republican senators who voted for these justices but said that they cared about abortion as a fundamental right and actually one who even said that she got an assurance from one of those justices that this was settled law -- I think it`s very important for those senators in particular to be on the right side of history in ensuring that we protect this right, because they confirmed these justices and now these justices are making a mockery of precedent, they`re making a mockery of women`s freedoms, and really of women overall, pregnant people overall.
