Senate Republicans Block Federal Contraception Access Bill
The legislation aimed to guarantee nationwide access to contraception but failed to advance due to a filibuster.
- The bill, titled the 'Right to Contraception Act,' needed 60 votes to overcome a filibuster but only received 51.
- Democrats brought the bill to the floor to highlight reproductive rights ahead of the November elections.
- Republican Senators Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins were the only GOP members to support the bill.
- Republicans argued the bill was unnecessary, claiming contraception access is not currently under threat.
- The vote reflects ongoing partisan divides over reproductive health issues in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
