I’m defending abortion rights from the MAGA Republicans.
Evidence
Sponsor: Sen. Menendez, Robert [D-NJ] (Introduced 05/26/2021). Latest Action: Senate - 05/26/2021 Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. Tracker: status Introduced.
Vote Number: 65. Question: On Cloture on the Motion to Proceed (Motion to Invoke Cloture: Motion to Proceed to H.R. 3755.) Vote Result: Cloture on the Motion to Proceed Rejected. Vote Counts: YEAs 46, NAYs 48, Not Voting 6.
Menendez said: 'With this bicameral bill, we are doing our part to stand in solidarity with women, girls, and LGBTQI+ people the world over whose access to vital sexual and reproductive health care has been severely obstructed or entirely suspended.' He added: 'Reproductive rights are human rights.'
Assessments
The cited legislative vehicles did not result in enacted federal reproductive-rights protections: the Women's Health Protection Act failed to advance in the Senate, and Menendez's Reproductive Rights are Human Rights Act remained only introduced and referred to committee. The evidence shows a serious legislative and public effort, but the promised outcome was not delivered. Confidence is reduced because the payload identifies the candidate as a U.S. Representative while the evidence concerns Sen. Robert Menendez.
