Rob Portman, who is retiring., Ryan has called for ending the filibuster to pass Democratic voting-rights legislation and a package of spending priorities by President Joe Biden, and more recently, to codify Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal across the country.
