Every Democrat and eight Republicans in the House vote to protect contraception

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : In a concurring opinion in the Dobbs case, Justice Clarence Thomas suggested that the court should "reconsider all of this court's substantive due process precedents' ' - including landmark cases involving contraception and marriage equality.
48% : Without explicit federal protections, Democratic lawmakers fear that - like abortion - access to contraception and the recognition of same-sex marriages could depend only on protections within individual states.
26% : House Republicans criticised the bill for rushing to the floor for a vote and claimed that the legislation is a "Trojan horse for more abortions", according to Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington who called the bill "Payouts for Planned Parenthood Act".
