Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said he was considering changing or open to changing or may change the filibuster rules next year to pass a federal Roe law, enshrining national abortion rights. Schumer said that he would pass two voting rights laws under a filibuster exception. On abortion he said, “I have to discuss that with my caucus. This is one of the issues we would have to debate and discuss and evolve.”
The bill has already been drafted and ready for a vote since 2003. Barbara Boxer in the House and Jerry Nadler already had the legislation drafted. PELOSI refused to bring it to a vote.
