After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and returned authority to set abortion policy to the American people and their elected representatives, congressional Democrats and President Biden vowed Friday that they would enact a radical federal abortion law if they keep the House and gain a couple more seats in the U.S. Senate in November.

“This race is about all of our rights,” Democratic Ohio Senate candidate Tim Ryan said in a tweet. “I’m fighting to abolish the filibuster and pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to protect abortion access.”
