U.S. Senate to Vote on Abortion Rights Bill

Senator Susan Collins is expected to be integral to its passage

The U.S. Senate will vote on legislation to codify abortion rights into law, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday.

This announcement came following a report suggesting the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is poised to overturn its landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling.
