The Senate will vote next week on legislation that would codify abortion rights into federal law as Democrats mount their response to the Supreme Court's leaked draft decision that would overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling. While the vote will be mostly symbolic, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said it will force members of both parties to go on record about where they stand.
