Dem Abortion Bill Co-Sponsor Baldwin: We Codify Roe and 'Also Take the Step' of Saying States Can't 'Impede' Right to Abortion

On Wednesday's broadcast of CNN's "At This Hour," Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), a co-sponsor of the Women's Health Protection Act, the abortion legislation voted on and rejected in the Senate on Wednesday, said that what the legislation "does is, first, codify Roe v. Wade." And in addition, because of laws that have been passed "that restrict access to abortion care and full reproductive freedom for women, we also take the step of making it clear that a state cannot impede this constitutionally-protected right, as so many have."
