Joe Manchin has revealed he plans to vote against his party\u2019s abortion bill, stating that it goes too far, though he claimed he would support a codification of <em>Roe v.

Wade<\/em> codification if it was today. I was hopeful for that, but I found out yesterday in caucus that that wasn\u2019t going to be,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Manchin tells reporters he will vote against the Women\u2019s Health Protection Act this afternoon <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sOvTIjxDwl\">pic.twitter.com\/sOvTIjxDwl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Alan He (@alanhe) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/alanhe\/status\/1524414354262790144?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 11, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Manchin had previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10799357\/Manchin-says-wait-TOMORROW-reveal-Senate-abortion-bill.html\">held back<\/a> on sharing his decision on the Wednesday vote, revealing earlier that he would not likely decide whether to support the proposal until at least Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Bob Casey, a self-described \u201cpro-life\u201d Democrat, was the other party member whose vote was uncertain ahead of the Wednesday vote.<\/p>\n<p>Casey announced on Tuesday that he would support the bill. He claimed to switch his view based on changing circumstances related to the recent leak of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito\u2019s draft of a court opinion that revealed a potential return of abortion laws to individual states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis week, I will again vote yes to advance debate on the Women\u2019s Health Protection Act and I will support the bill if there is a vote on final passage in the future,\u201d Casey said in a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.casey.senate.gov\/news\/releases\/casey-announces-support-for-womens-health-protection-act\">statement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the nearly three months since the Senate last voted on the Women\u2019s Health Protection Act, the circumstances around the entire debate on abortion have changed. In light of the leaked Supreme Court decision draft overturning Roe v. Wade, and subsequent reports that Republicans in the U.S. House and Senate will introduce legislation to enact a nationwide six-week ban, the real question of the moment is: do you support a categorical ban on abortion? During my time in public office, I have never voted for\u2014nor do I support\u2014such a ban,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) vowed to push for the Wednesday vote to force every senator to go on record regarding the abortion-supporting legislation ahead of the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCome next week, Senate Republicans will have to answer for everything they\u2019ve done over the years to embolden the hard right\u2019s hostility against a woman\u2019s choice,\u201d Schumer said in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/senate-abortion-bill-roe-v-wade-vote-schumer\/\">remarks<\/a>\u00a0on the Senate floor last week. \u201cThey will not be able to hide from the American people and cannot hide their role in bringing Roe to an end. The vote will tell, next week. America will be watching.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll week we\u2019ve been seeing Republicans try to duck, dodge and dip from their responsibility for bringing Roe to the brink of total repeal. That\u2019s what they\u2019ve been trying to do for decades,\u201d he added. \u201cNext week, the American people will see crystal clear that when given the chance to right this wrong, the Republican Party will either side with the extremists who want to ban abortion without exceptions, or side with women, with families and the vast majority of Americans.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>West Virginia Democratic Sen.
