Pelosi Speaks At Press Conference After Passage Of WHPA

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi gestures toward the Supreme Court when speaking about the Court's late-night decision to allow the Texas abortion law during a press conference immediately following passage of the Women's Health Protection Act by the House of Representatives. The legislation establishes a federal guarantee of the right to seek an abortion. It would effectively codify the 1973 Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision that women have the right to abortion access, obviating the widely-expected reversal of that decision in an upcoming case involving limits on abortion in the state of Mississppi.
