Second, the federal bill offered in the Senate yesterday, the Blumenthal bill, quite specifically and at great length (13 pages) blocks state laws on abortion. Roe/Casey very demonstrably did not do that, well before a final decision on the case currently under review by the Supreme Court. Unlike the Blumenthal bill but affirming Roe/Casey, the bill sponsored by Senators Collins and Murkowski does not proscribe state laws. The Collins/Murkowski bill, mentioned but not defined in paragraph 21 of the AP story, captures Roe/Casey in a nutshell:SEC. Telling the truth about both Senate bills would have been easy and would not have disturbed the debate, just informed it.
