西内马反对拜登呼吁阻挠通过堕胎权的例外

2022-07-04 10:48  -ABC   - 

亚利桑那州民主党参议员Kyrsten Sinema仍致力于支持参议院的阻挠议事,一位发言人周五表示,一天前,美国总统拜登表示,他将支持破例将堕胎权纳入联邦法律。

“参议员西内马在阻挠议事上的立场没有改变,”发言人告诉美国广播公司新闻。

尽管西弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员乔曼钦(Joe Manchin)在拜登呼吁后没有明确表态,但所有有迹象表明,他也仍然反对这样的雕刻。没有两位民主党人的支持,参议院规则的改变是不可能的。

最高法院上周五推翻了Roe v. Wade案,这是过去五十年来全国堕胎合法化的里程碑式决定,拜登面临着就生殖权利采取行动的压力。

拜登周四称高等法院的行为“令人愤慨”,并表示他支持参议院60票门槛的例外,以保护堕胎权利。

“我们必须把罗伊诉韦德案写进法律,”他说。“要做到这一点,就要确保国会投票通过。如果阻挠议事妨碍了投票权,我们应该为此提供一个例外,除了为应对最高法院的决定而采取的行动所需的阻挠议事例外。”

拜登今年早些时候表示支持阻挠议事以通过投票权立法,但这也面临着曼钦和西内马的反对。

政府已经宣布了几项措施,旨在维护对妇女的现有保护,如保护药物流产的机会,并确保怀孕患者可以获得紧急医疗护理。本周早些时候,卫生部长泽维尔·韦塞拉表示,正在与顶级法律顾问探讨每一种选择。

但拜登承认,这种行政行动只能到此为止,他表示,最终要由国会在联邦一级赋予堕胎权。

众议院议长南希·佩洛西(Nancy Pelosi)周五表示,“民主党人正在激烈斗争,以将罗伊诉韦德案纳入法律。”

但是,只要参议院的阻挠不变,该党的选择仍然极其有限。

当被问及拜登呼吁阻挠议事时,西内马的办公室向美国广播公司新闻部推荐了这位参议员去年夏天写的专栏文章以及她在今年早些时候多布斯决定泄露后的声明。在这两份声明中,Sinema肯定了她的信念,即阻挠议事被用来保护妇女的权利。

她在之前的声明中说,“在过去十年中,参议院中防止女性获得医疗保健的权利受到侵蚀的保护措施已经被使用了六次,现在比以往任何时候都更重要。”

曼钦上周表示,在最高法院做出裁决后,他对两党达成解决方案抱有希望。

当堕胎决定草案在5月泄露时,曼钦告诉记者“阻挠议事是民主的唯一保护。”
 

Sinema opposes Biden's call for filibuster exception to pass abortion rights

Arizona Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema remains committed to upholding the Senate filibuster, a spokesperson said Friday, a day after President Joe Biden said he would support making an exception to codify abortion rights in federal law.

"Senator Sinema's position on the filibuster has not changed," the spokesperson told ABC News.

While West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin hasn't weighed in specifically after Biden's call, all signs are that he, too, remains opposed to such a carveout. Without the support of both Democrats, a change to the Senate rules is likely not possible.

Biden is under pressure to act on reproductive rights after the Supreme Court last Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark decision legalizing abortion access nationwide for the past five decades.

Biden on Thursday called the high court's behavior "outrageous," stating he supported an exception to the Senate's 60-vote threshold to protect abortion rights.

"We have to codify Roe v. Wade in the law," he said. "And the way to do that is to make sure Congress votes to do that. And if the filibuster gets in the way it's like voting rights, it should be we provide an exception for this, except the required exception to the filibuster for this action to deal with the Supreme Court decision."

Biden earlier this year voiced support for a filibuster carveout to pass voting rights legislation, but that too faced opposition from Manchin and Sinema.

The administration has announced several steps aimed at safeguarding existing protections for women, such as protecting access for medication abortion and ensuring that pregnant patients can get emergency medical care. Earlier this week, Health Secretary Xavier Becerra said every option is being explored with top legal advisers.

But Biden's acknowledged that such executive action can only go so far, stating it is ultimately up to Congress to enshrine abortion rights at the federal level.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., on Friday said "Democrats are fighting ferociously to enshrine Roe v Wade into law."

But the party's options remain extremely limited, so long as the Senate filibuster is intact.

When asked about Biden's call for filibuster carveout, Sinema's office referred ABC News to the op-ed the senator wrote last summer and her statement following the leaked Dobbs decision earlier this year. In both statements, Sinema affirmed her belief that the filibuster has been used to protect women's rights.

"Protections in the Senate safeguarding against the erosion of women's access to health care have been used half-a-dozen times in the past ten years, and are more important now than ever," she said in the previous statement.

Manchin said last week, following the Supreme Court decision, that he was hopeful for a bipartisan solution.

When the draft abortion decision leaked in May, Manchin told reporters "the filibuster is the only protection of democracy."
