The House on Friday passed a bill that would prohibit some state-level abortion restrictions. The bill, which is supported by President Joe Biden, is unlikely to pass the Senate.

The Women’s Health Protection Act would make it a right for a woman to undergo an abortion procedure, and it would override certain state laws restricting those procedures, including mandatory waiting periods, bans on abortions via telemedicine, or requiring providers to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.
