Press Conference After WHPA Passed By House Of Representatives

Congresswomen, Congressmen, and supporters of the Women's Health Protection Act pose for a group photo during a press conference immediately after passage of the bill in 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. Left to right, front row: Congressman Al Green (D-TX); Congresswomen Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Joyce Beatty, (D-OH), Brenda Lawrence (D-MI), Barbara Lee (D-CA), and Mary Gay Scanlon (D-PA); and Nina Perez of MomsRising.
