Democratic Senators Discuss Next Week's Vote To Codify Roe v. Wade

WASHINGTON, DC - MAY 05: Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) speaks at a news conference on the U.S. Senate’s upcoming procedural vote to codify Roe v. Wade at the U.S. Capitol Building on May 05, 2022 in Washington, DC. Earlier today Leader Schumer announced that the U.S. Senate would take up the vote to make abortion legal nationwide in the middle of next week, however the vote requires a sixty-vote threshold to pass, meaning it will likely fail. In attendance were (L-R) U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-HI) and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN).
