Senate Republicans have blocked the bill to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law

Democratic leader Chuck Schumer planned a vote on a sweeping bill to override state laws and set a national abortion policy, the Women’s Health Protection Act, but lost the vote in the Senate.

So essentially, the decision now sits on the U.S. Supreme Court to amend the Constitutional right to abortion across the nation.

The US Senate on Wednesday failed to pass a bill that would codify into federal law the right to access abortion.

The likely overturning of Roe v. Wade is being viewed as one of the most controversial decisions in decades.

While this could still change, if it is not altered, it will result in 26 states banning abortion within the space of just a few months.

Ticker News spoke with writer Molly Jong-Fast who says America is going backward on the global stage.

"This is a right women have had for 49 years. That's what it is… it's a right"
