Senate Republicans Block Right To Contraception Act As Democrats Make Abortion Issues A Focal Point
Two Republicans, Sens. Lisa Murkowski, Alaska, and Susan Collins, Maine, crossed party lines and voted in support of the act. In a statement posted to X, Murkowski said she believes women have the right to contraception and that this isn’t a “perfect bill,” but “the way we can prevent abortions is to provide for a level of access to contraception.”
