House passes bill guaranteeing contraception access in response to SCOTUS’ Thomas



The House of Representatives approved legislation guaranteeing access to contraception nationwide Thursday, nearly one month after Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas indicated support for reversing a key precedent prohibiting restrictions on birth control.


The Right to Contraception Act passed 228-195 with eight Republicans joining all Democrats voting in favor of the bill.

The GOPers who backed the legislation were Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio, John Katko of New York, Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Maria Elvira Salazar of Florida and Fred Upton of Michigan. 

Reps. Bob Gibbs (R-Ohio) and Mike Kelly (R-Pa.) opted to vote “present” while six other Republican lawmakers did not vote. 

The bill would codify the right to obtain contraceptives, defined as “any device or medication used to prevent pregnancy,” in federal law. Listed examples include oral contraceptives, injections, implants like intrauterine devices and emergency contraceptives, which prevent pregnancy several days after unprotected sex.
