On Wednesday, a bipartisan majority of Senators voted 51-49 against the Left’s extreme “Abortion for All Act.

This vote marks the second time this legislation has failed in the Senate. Back in February, the same bipartisan majority of Senators voted against the bill, which Heritage Action key voted as part of our legislative scorecard.

Here’s how extreme their “Abortion for All Act” is:

Allows for abortion in ALL NINE months of pregnancy (including gruesome late-term abortions).
Overturns ALL state pro-life protections.
Removes ALL religious exemptions for healthcare workers and OB-GYNs who refuse to perform abortions.
Forces ALL taxpayers to fund abortions.
ALL babies can be targeted for abortion based on their race, gender, or genetics.

While this vote failed, it’s important to remember that almost every Senate Democrat voted for this bill…TWICE.

When there are so many pressing issues (inflation, open borders, a baby formula shortage), it’s reprehensible that Chuck Schumer and his caucus would message to voters that gruesome late-term abortions should be legal and should be the priority.

Voters should remember this come November.
