The US Senate has rejected a bill to guarantee the right to abortion at the federal level.

The initiative fell through after a vote with 49 votes for and 51 againstwell below the 60 fulcrums needed to be debated in the Senate.

The 50 Republicans voted against as a bloc, while they are on the side Democrat Senator Joe Manchin Joined Republicans By Voting Against of the measure.

After the President of the United States took note of the bill’s veto, Joe Bidensaid in a statement that “women’s constitutional rights are under unprecedented attack, against the will of the majority of the American people.”

Under a draft leaked to the press last week, the US Supreme Court will revoke the right to abortion, which has been in force in the country since 1973.

Repealing “Roe Vs Wade” Would Allow Republicans To Limit And Even Eliminate That Right pass laws in state parliaments. Specifically, in that case, 26 of the 50 US states will take steps to limit it.
