Freedom of Choice bill would hinge on Roe vs Wade
Washington reports that Congress faces renewed pressure to pass federal legislation guaranteeing abortion rights. The Freedom of Choice Act would prohibit states from restricting access before fetal viability and to protect a woman’s health or life, aligning with Roe v Wade. Supporters say the current court ruling heightens the need. However critics argue no crisis exists to mandate federal action.

Court Upholds Roe Rights After Abortion Ruling
The court, in a 4 to 1 vote, said Roe v. Wade's constitutional right to abortion remains. Justice Souter cautioned overturning it would bow to political pressure and undermine the court. The ruling replaces the trimester framework with an undue burden standard, allowing states to regulate abortion while avoiding substantial obstacles before fetal viability.
