An anti-abortion demonstrator waves an American flag in front of the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, on May 11, 2022. - Senate Democrats today were unsuccessful in passing legislation to codify Roe v. Wade, with the measure failing in a 51-49 vote. Democrats in the US Senate were due to lead a vote Wednesday to codify the right to abortion into federal law in a bid to pin down Republicans on the deeply divisive issue ahead of crucial midterm elections, even though they expect the measure to fail.

Wade, a landmark 1973 ruling guaranteeing abortion access nationwide. (Photo by Stefani Reynolds / AFP)
