Bernie Sanders, AOC call for Congress to pass legislation to defend Roe v. Wade after leaked draft shows the Supreme Court poised to overturn it

Leading progressives Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for urgent action by Democrats in Congress to defend federal abortion rights after a leaked Supreme Court memo suggested that justices were on the verge of overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade decision. 

"People elected Democrats precisely so we could lead in perilous moments like these- to codify Roe, hold corruption accountable, & have a President who uses his legal authority to break through Congressional gridlock on items from student debt to climate," the New York representative tweeted.
