Wade<\/em>],\u201d Schumer said. \u201cThey worked to take away the rights of women who simply want to make their own choices and not be told by some doctor, some senator, [or] some court justice how to treat their bodies. Republican politicians across the country are passing laws telling the women of America, \u2018Your body, our choice.\u2019 So much for the party of limited government. And now, with the Republican court on the verge of tearing down five decades of precedent, Republicans suddenly don\u2019t want to talk about their complicity in this effort. You ask them about, do they support repealing <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>, they change the subject. What does that say? It says they know they\u2019re on the wrong side of history and on the wrong side of the American people, and their thirty-year effort, they wish to go underground because they\u2019re actually afraid in certain ways that it might succeed. All week, you\u2019ve seen Republicans try to duck, dodge, and dip from their responsibility for bringing <i>Roe<\/i> to the brink of total repeal. This is about to change. Next week, the U.S. Senate is going to vote on legislation to codify a woman\u2019s right to seek an abortion into federal law. I intend to file cloture on this vital legislation Monday, which would set up a vote for Wednesday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRepublicans will have two choices,\u201d Schumer continued. \u201cThey can own the destruction of women\u2019s rights, or they can reverse course and work to prevent the damage. Count me as skeptical that they\u2019ll do the latter. Republicans have been on the wrong side of history and the wrong side of America.\u201d Schumer then cited a poll from the left-wing polling firm <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dataforprogress.org\/blog\/2022\/5\/5\/voters-uphold-roe\">Data for Progress<\/a> that showed that a majority of respondents, 58%, want\u00a0<em>Roe <\/em>to remain in place, compared to 30% who want the decision to be overturned. The poll showed that 78% of Democrats, 63% of Independents, and 35% of Republicans supported keeping the decision in place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNext week\u2019s vote will be one of the most important we take,\u201d Schumer concluded. \u201cNot only this session, but in this century. This is not an abstract exercise. It\u2019s as real, it\u2019s as urgent as it gets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Schumer reiterated his announcement in a tweet on Thursday as well. \u201cThe Senate is going to vote next week on the Women\u2019s Health Protection Act to codify a woman\u2019s right to seek an abortion into federal law,\u201d he wrote. \u201cI will file cloture on this vital legislation Monday, and that will set up a vote Wednesday. Americans will see where every senator stands.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The Senate is going to vote next week on the Women\u2019s Health Protection Act to codify a woman\u2019s right to seek an abortion into federal law.<\/p>\n<p>I will file cloture on this vital legislation Monday, and that will set up a vote Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Americans will see where every senator stands.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenSchumer\/status\/1522260237255852036?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 5, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cFor over two decades, Republicans across the country worked to dismantle [Roe v.
