Pro-Life Caucus Chair Chris Smith outlines conservative efforts as Dems go for 'jugular' on abortion
Fox News
House Pro-Life Caucus Chairman Chris Smith outlined a series of measures Republicans were taking as Democrats attempted to codify Roe v. Wade and provide abortion funding at the federal level.
Smith highlighted Democrats' push for the Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA), which he labeled the "Abortion on Demand Act." "I mean, abortion on demand act would be until birth and … it would nullify all of these great. modest pro-life laws in all 50 states."
The WHPA comes amid a tsunami of anti-abortion laws and would serve as a Democratic backstop against the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. This year's abortion politics could be the most consequential in decades as the issue fuels debate about the structure of the Supreme Court and filibuster in the Senate.
