Title: Reproductive Freedom for Women Act

Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to invoke cloture and proceed to passage of a bill that authorizes support for protecting access to reproductive health care after the Dobbs v. Jackson decision on June 24, 2022.

Highlights:

  • Authorizes support for protecting access to reproductive health care after the Dobbs v. Jackson decision on June 24, 2022 (Sec. 2).

  • Specifies that the provisions of this bill shall become effective immediately upon passage and approval by the President (Sec. 2).

NOTE: THIS LEGISLATION NEEDED A THREE-FIFTHS MAJORITY VOTE TO PASS.

NOTE: THIS IS A VOTE TO INVOKE CLOTURE ON A MOTION TO PROCEED, WHICH SENDS THE LEGISLATION TO THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE FOR DEBATE AND AMENDMENT. A MOTION TO PROCEED ALONE REQUIRES A MAJORITY FOR APPROVAL. HOWEVER, THE MOTION CAN BE FILIBUSTERED, AND WHEN THIS OCCURS, A CLOTURE VOTE IS NECESSARY TO VOTE ON THE MOTION TO PROCEED. A THREE-FIFTHS MAJORITY OF THE SENATE IS NECESSARY TO INVOKE CLOTURE.
