Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) called "a deluge of new evidence."House Speaker Nancy Pelosi outlined several legislative proposals that House Democrats are considering as responses to Friday's Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v.Wade establishing a constitutional right to abortion services.Pelosi said Democrats have been preparing for high court action since Politico released a draft of the ruling early last month.Pelosi cited three specific proposals that House Democrats are considering.One would codify the 1973 Roe decision into law.Another would make it clear that women are free to travel across the country for any reason, an effort to head off any attempts by states to ban interstate travel for legal abortion services.And a third party would protect reproductive health data, such as that stored in apps, from being collected and distributed to third parties.Headlines The Wall Street Journal: Some of the nation's largest retailers are rationing over-the-counter emergency contraceptive pills as demand surges following Supreme Court ruling that struck down the constitutional right to abortion: CVS, Walmart and Rite Aid were limiting purchases of the pills, which were in short supply or out of stock Monday morning on major retailers' websites...
