LINCOLN- Rep. Mike Flood voted against legislation that sought to restore abortion rights in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court decision that wiped out Roe v. Wade.

The bill was approved by the Democratic majority in the House on a 219-210 vote and is almost certain to be blocked in the Senate.

Flood, the newly elected 1st District Republican congressman, described the proposal as "abortion-on-demand extremism."

Patty Pansing Brooks responded by saying, "Mike Flood's draconian position on women's reproductive access became even more clear."

Flood "voted against a bill to allow women and children to travel across state lines for life-saving health care services," Pansing Brooks said.

After only over a week with Flood House of Representatives, it is clear that abortion will be a driving topic in the November rematch between Flood and Pansing Brooks.
