Nearly 200 House Republicans Just Voted Against the Right to Birth Control

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Justice Clarence Thomas literally called for the court to attack birth control -- and marriage equality -- next.
43% : About 40 more Republicans opposed this birth control bill than voted against the bill to codify marriage equality on Tuesday (157 Republicans against that).
42% : If you were a Republican who wanted to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies that might result in abortion, you'd theoretically be in favor of guaranteeing people's access to birth control, right?
42% : It sure seems like the current Republican position is to ban abortion and do nothing to ensure that people can get birth control.
38% : It sure seems like the official GOP position is to ban abortion while doing nothing to ensure that people can effectively prevent pregnancy.
37% : The bill is unfortunately necessary, since the Supreme Court's overturning of Roe v. Wade not only lets states ban abortion, but also threatens other sexual privacy rights, including the right to use emergency contraception and other forms of birth control.
