On Friday, the House passed legislation that would guarantee a woman’s right to an abortion. While left-leaning articles highlight that the legislation would create a statutory right of health-care professionals to provide abortions, right-leaning articles highlight that a GOP-led motion to recommit and procedurally delay the bill failed on a 210-219 party-line vote.

 A left-leaning article by The Washington Post highlights that the legislation would create a statutory right of health-care professionals to provide abortions. The measure would codify Roe v. Wade.

AP published a centrist article reporting that the legislation’s 218-211 approval is mostly symbolic, as it will not pass the Senate. However, Democrats say they are doing what they can to codify the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.

A right-leaning article by Fox News highlights that a GOP-led motion to recommit and procedurally delay the bill failed on a 210-219 party-line vote. Republicans argue that if the bill were to become law it would mean an official embrace by the U.S. government to kill children.
