WASHINGTON – Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, released the following statement today after the Senate failed to invoke Cloture on the Women’s Health Protection Act.
“Today, I voted in favor of the Women’s Health Protection Act because every woman in every state deserves guaranteed access to reproductive health care, including abortion. I’m disappointed that this legislation didn’t pass. The American people overwhelmingly support Roe, and the Senate must find a way to defend a woman’s right to make her own choices about her life and her future. This is not the end of the fight, and I will continue to work to codify Roe and ensure every woman has the right to the reproductive health care services they need.”
