#Senate #Republicans #obstructed #legislation Wed to enshrine a #FederalRight to #access #contraception.
The vote on the #RightToContraceptionAct was 51-39, falling short of the 60 votes needed to defeat a #filibuster & move forward. Republicans said the bill is unnecessary as the use of #BirthControl is protected under #SCOTUS precedent [as if #SupremeCourt precedent means anything anymore].
