House Schedules Vote on Bill Protecting Access to Contraception
---------------------------------------------------------------

The House of Representatives votes today on a bill guaranteeing access
to contraceptives under federal law. House Democrats introduced the bill
after Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas suggested in a concurrent
opinion to the Dobbs v. Jackson case overturning abortion rights that
he's open to reviewing previous rulings on marriage equality,
reproductive rights and other issues.
