Press Conference After WHPA Passed By House Of Representatives

Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA) speaks at a press conference immediately following a vote by the House of Representatives on the Women's Health Protection Act. The legilslation 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.
