The US House of Representatives, recently controlled by the Republicans, must adopt two anti-abortion bills on Wednesday, with a largely symbolic scope.
Biden administration taken to task
The first resolution condemns the attacks on “abortion establishments, associations and churches.” The text points particularly to the acts of violence that took place from May 2, 2022, when a leak revealed that the Supreme Court of the United States planned to soon attack the right to abortion. The resolution accuses, among other things, “the Biden administration of failing to take action to respond to these sweeping attacks.”
The second text put to a vote by elected officials on Wednesday requires doctors present during an abortion to “provide adequate care” to try to “save” the aborted fetus.
“Manipulation Strategy”
The family planning organization Planned Parenthood strongly criticized the text that “is nothing more than a fear manipulation strategy aimed at stigmatizing abortion.”
However, the scope of these two bills is limited because even if they were adopted in the House, they would have no chance of proceeding to the Senate stage, of which the Democrats retain control.
