President Biden has said he will be sure to codify Roe vs Wade into law if voters will help Democrats make gains in the Senate at the midterms next month, making it impossible for states to place significant limits on abortion.

Pray that the gains of the last fifty years which resulted in the Dobbs decision will hold.

In related news, the Pentagon says it will cover the cost of abortion-related travel for employees.

The technology is designed for egg donation and for women to postpone child bearing, but the long-term effects are still unknown.
