(CNS News) -- The Democrat-controlled House of Representatives passed a bill on Friday that would essentially override all state laws that limit abortion, now and in the future, and make abortion legal across the board, even up to the moment of birth. The legislation passed on a largely party-line vote, 218 to 211.

The legislation, HR 3755, is entitled the “Women’s Health Protection Act of 2021” (WHPA). The purpose of the bill is “to permit health care providers to provide abortion services without” certain “limitations or requirements.”
