The House of Representatives of the United States passed two bills to protect the right to abortion

China News Agency, Washington, July 15th (Reporter Sha Yanting) The United States House of Representatives passed two bills on the 15th local time, aiming to protect women's abortion rights from the federal level.

On the same day, the House of Representatives first passed the "Women's Health Protection Act" with 219 votes in favor and 210 votes. The voting results basically followed the party. The bill stipulates that abortion may not be prohibited before 24 weeks of pregnancy; after 24 weeks, if pregnant women are in danger of life, medical institutions can still provide abortion services.

After that, the House of Representatives passed the "Guarantee Obtaining the Abortion Service Act" with the results of 223 votes in favor and 205 votes. The bill stipulates that women who go to other states to seek abortion services shall not be punished.

The Speaker of the House of Representatives and Democratic Perlis made a speech that day, "The Federal Supreme Court's ruling of overthrowing the Wade's case was the infringement of women's fundamental rights and was extremely angry. Basic rights to fight ".

Republicans opposed these two bills. Republican member Cathy McMorris Rodgers said "abortion is the most serious human rights issue."

Next, these two bills will be discussed and voted in the Senate. At present, the Democratic Party and Republicans of the Senate each have 50 seats, and both of these bills need to be obtained to get it.

In the current Senate, only two Republican senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins publicly support female abortion rights. The US media believes that these two bills are unlikely to be passed in the Senate.

On June 24, the US Federal Supreme Court overthrowing the Luo Deer case that protected women's abortion rights means that women's abortion rights will no longer be protected by the US Constitution. It is reported that the abortion ban in 13 states has come into effect after Luo's sue Wade's case was overthrown.
