On December 10th, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected President Joe Biden’s request to block Texas’ abortion ban, again.

Fearing the conservative leaning Supreme Court will overturn the 1973 Roe v Wade decree legalizing abortion nationwide, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi vowed to bring a massive abortion expansion bill to the floor for a vote.
