GOP Push for Nationwide Abortion Ban
Several Republicans have expressed an openness to passing federal restrictions on abortion access if they regain majorities in the midterm elections.

On Thursday, Representative Kelly spoke from the House floor in favor of his heartbeat bill and was joined by several of his Republican colleagues.
The legislation, if passed by the House and Senate and signed by the president, would "prohibit abortions when an unborn child's heartbeat is detected" except where necessary to save the life of pregnant woman.
Republican Representative Doug LaMalfa was one of those speaking in favor of the bill and said that "as early as five weeks in the womb, babies have a heartbeat."
Federal legislation that effectively banned most abortions after five weeks would prevent individual states from protecting abortion rights and would be a stricter law than many states already impose.
"When we get the majority back after the midterms, I expect there to be a larger discussion about where Republicans are unified, and those conversations are still ongoing," said Representative Jim Banks, chair of the Republican Study Committee.
