US Senate fails to pass abortion rights bill

The US Senate has failed to pass legislation protecting abortion rights. Senators voted 49 to 51 to reject the democrat-sponsored legislation - which would enshrine abortion rights into federal law. All 50 Republican Senators voted against the bill – which needed the backing of at least 60 Senators to pass. West Virginia Democrat Joe Manchin also controversially voted against the measure. The bill was introduced after a leaked Supreme Court draft opinion - showed the landmark ruling upholding abortion rights nationwide, may soon be overturned.
