195 GOP Reps Vote Against Right To Contraceptives

The Huffington Post reports:

The House passed the Right to Contraception Act on Thursday ― a bill that codifies the right to birth control and other contraceptives amid fears that the Supreme Court may come for that aspect of reproductive health care next after the high court repealed Roe v. Wade’s protection of abortion rights last month.

The bill passed despite 195 Republicans who voted against the bill in a final vote of 228 to 195. Republicans who voted against the legislation included Reps. Matt Gaetz (Fla.), Paul Gosar (Ariz.), Jack Bergman (Mich.) and Joe Wilson (S.C.). Just eight Republicans voted in favor of the bill.

Dems should have been getting more aggressive on these 'culture war' issues a long time ago.

Make them vote publicly to deny women their rights.

We need to make them aware of what the Republican agenda is and what the consequences will be if they take power.

It's not surprising, but it's disgusting.

There is no low too low, there is nothing they won't make into a political deathmatch, and for no logical reason.
