Democratic contraception bill faces Senate trouble over religious freedom

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : The bill, which has yet to be made public, "would codify the right to use contraception first recognized by the Supreme Court in Griswold, while also maintaining protections for religious liberties."
51% :CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINERKaine has a 100% voting score from the abortion rights group NARAL and a 95% from Planned Parenthood.
45% : He also has a record of voting against efforts to defund Planned Parenthood and joined fellow Democrats in urging wider coverage of contraception under Obamacare plans.
35% : "The WHPA explicitly invalidates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in connection with abortion and supersedes other longstanding, bipartisan conscience laws, including provisions in the Affordable Care Act, that protect health care providers who choose not to offer abortion services for moral or religious reasons," Collins said in May ahead of a doomed vote on the bill in the Senate.
33% : She cited an infringement on religious liberties as a reason for voting against Democratic legislation to codify abortion rights, the Women's Health Protection Act, which would have gone far beyond writing Roe into statute.
31% : The bill would have solidified the right to abortion beyond the point of viability, around 24 weeks, overturned all state restrictions on abortion, and sidestepped a defense raised under RFRA.
23% : Still, Kaine said , while campaigning with Clinton in 2016, "I'm a traditional Catholic, personally, I'm opposed to abortion."
