In a 228-to-195 vote Thursday, lawmakers passed legislation that guarantees the federal right to contraception. Eight Republicans voted in favor of the bill, including Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) , Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.). Rep. Bob Gibbs (R-Ohio) and Rep. Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) took no position on the bill.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW:<br \/>The House passes the Right to Contraception Act by a vote of 228-195, two members voting present<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Stephanie Myers (@_StephanieMyers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/_StephanieMyers\/status\/1550176048788058112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 21, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The measure aims to protect a person\u2019s ability to access contraceptives and engage in contraception and also protects healthcare providers. This comes after the Supreme Courts\u2019 Roe v. Wade reversal and Justice Clarence Thomas said the court should revisit other decisions such as Griswold vs. Connecticut, which allows access to contraception.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe Supreme Court\u2019s decision was a direct attack on abortion and Americans are now justifiably scared about the future of birth control,\u201d stated Rep. Doris Matsui (D-Calif.). \u201cRepublicans across this country will continue their extreme assault on basic freedoms and Justice Thomas made it clear that the Supreme Court will do nothing to protect our fundamental rights from these coordinated attacks.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Republicans, on the other hand, said the push from Democrats is unnecessary. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said contraception likely needs protection from Congress rather than by Congress, adding \u201cif there is any entity you don\u2019t want involved\u201d in contraception choices \u201cit\u2019s the federal government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Others claim it\u2019s just another pointless bill to entice fear and rile up voters before the midterms. Meanwhile, Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Texas) said it could be dangerous.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe kindest thing I can say about this legislation is that it is duplicative and unnecessary,\u201d he stated. \u201cBut unfortunately, it can also be damaging. Contraception is so broadly defined that it could guarantee access to medical abortion pills or even contraceptives that might not have FDA approval.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This came shortly after the House passed a bill codifying gay marriage nationwide. It\u2019s unclear whether both legislations will make it to President Joe Biden\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/cancelled-scientists-reveal-extent-of-overblown-covid-response\/\">\u2018Cancelled\u2019 Scientists Reveal Extent Of Overblown COVID Response<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., makes a point during an event with Democratic women House members and advocates for reproductive freedom ahead of the vote on the Right to Contraception Act, at the Capitol in Washington, Wednesday, July 20, 2022.
