Quote:Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), a senior member and former Chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP), Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), and the Democratic women of the U.S. Senate— Senators Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Laphonza Butler (D-CA), Maria Cantwell (D-WA), Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Maggie Hassan (D-NH), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Jacky Rosen (D-NV), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Tina Smith (D-MN), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA)—introduced a bill to express support for protecting access to reproductive health care after the Dobbs v. Jackson decision. The bill simply states: “It is the sense of Congress that— (1) protections for access to abortion rights and other reproductive health care after the Dobbs v. Jackson, 597 U.S. 215 (2022) decision on June 24, 2022, should be supported; and (2) the protections enshrined in Roe v. Wade,  410 U.S. 113 (1973) should be restored and built upon, moving towards a future where there is reproductive freedom for all.”
