H.R. 8296, also known as the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2022, would establish that healthcare providers have a statutory right to provide abortion services, and that women have a corresponding right to obtain abortions.
The House passed H.R. 8296 on July 15, 2022 by a vote of 219 to 210 (Roll Call 360). We have assigned pluses to the nays because the right to life is the most fundamental, God-given, and unalienable right asserted in the Declaration of Independence and guaranteed by the Fifth and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
