The House passed legislation that ensures the right to access contraception, a bill that lawmakers on the right argue violates religious freedom.
The lower chamber on Thursday passed the bill, the Right to Contraception Act, in a 228-195 vote, with eight Republicans joining all Democrats in favor and two members voting present. The measure would guarantee a right to all Food and Drug Administration-approved contraceptive pills and devices, as well as sterilization procedures. The bill’s introduction was a response to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s note in his concurring opinion in Dobbs v.
RFRA was central to the landmark 2014 Supreme Court case Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, in which the court determined that the Obamacare contraception mandate violated the law in cases of privately held, for-profit organizations like Hobby Lobby. “HR 8373 will also continue President Joe Biden's war on religious liberty and conscience protections,” Rodgers said Thursday. “It would force health providers to violate their religion and sincerely held beliefs to provide contraception and perform sterilizations, including on minors, would also force organizations like the Little Sisters of the Poor to violate their religion and provide contraception.
