"Senate Republicans Block Contraception Access Bill"
TL;DR Summary
Senate Republicans blocked the Right to Contraception Act, which aimed to guarantee nationwide access to contraceptives, failing to achieve the 60 votes needed for a full Senate vote. All opposition came from Republicans, with only two moderate Republicans, Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins, voting in favor. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized Republicans for not supporting the bill, while Republicans argued it was a political stunt tied to abortion rights.
