Senate vote on federal abortion rights could come this weekCNN– The battle over abortion rights appears to be heading to the Senate floor, after a weekend of Mother’s Day protests across the country. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced Sunday that he plans to file a motion for a procedural vote Monday, on the controversial issue over Roe v. Wade, which could see a full Senate vote on Wednesday. Democrats are hoping they can preserve abortion rights that way. Senator Lindsey Graham says he hopes Roe v. Wade gets repealed. Last year, Governor Henry McMaster signed the act into law, but it was blocked by a Planned Parenthood lawsuit.
