A bill that would protect abortion rights passed the House on Friday, but it's unclear whether it could get past a 50-50 Senate and reach President Joe Biden's desk.

Here's why their decision might have differed from their statements.WASHINGTON–Facing mounting pressure to respond to a conservative Supreme Court ruling, House Democrats passed a bill Friday that would protect abortion rights.
But there are major questions about whether the bill can get past a 50-50 Senate and reach President Joe Biden's desk.The Women's Health Protection Act of 2022 would enshrine Roe v. Wade into federal law.The bill passed the Democratic-led House as expected. The Women's Health Protection Act passed 219-210, almost entirely along party lines with democrats in favor and Republicans opposed.
Thomas"confirmed many of our deepest fears about where this decision may lead: taking aim at additional long-standing precedent and cherished privacy rights, from access to contraception and in-vitro fertilization to marriage equality," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., wrote in a recent letter to House colleagues."Legislation is being introduced to further codify freedoms which Americans currently enjoy.
House Democrats will also introduce additional legislation in the coming weeks to protect patients' privacy rights and prohibit any restrictions on contraception, she said. The House action Friday follows recent executive action from Biden. Last Friday, the president issued an order to protect access to emergency contraception and other health services.
