Democratic Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal refused to say whether his abortion bill, which the Senate is voting on Wednesday, would prevent states from banning sex-selective abortions, according to National Review.
The Women’s Health Protection Act, which is cosponsored by 47 Senate Democrats, would enshrine a right to elective abortion throughout the first six months of pregnancy and would strike down any state laws banning abortions even in the third trimester in cases wherein a healthcare worker finds that pregnancy could harm a patient’s mental or physical health. It is loosely based off the Roe v. Wade precedent, according to the bill’s proponents, which allows abortions until the point at which a child can survive outside the womb at around six months.
