"SNIP...........

The Senate will vote Wednesday on the Right to Contraception Act, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer announced as Democrats look to squeeze Republicans once again over abortion and reproductive rights, Punchbowl News reports.

Schumer also said Senate Democrats plan to focus heavily on abortion throughout June, which marks two years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

1. What a sad state of affairs when Congress has to decide what women should decide without interference

[JohnSJ]

3. What is really sad is the number of women who may vote republican

[GreenWave]

4. And sadder still the number of women forced by the household bully to vote R.

9. The house bully can rant and rave all he wants, but they won't let him into the voting both with his SO.

The secret ballot is the backbone of the election process.

The only thing standing between us and another Trump presidency is the women of America. They are the real swing vote. This is where they rise up and take back their rights. In the privacy of the voting booth a women is free to vote her conscience. There are a large number of R women that are going to do just that, and vote for Biden and maybe a few other Democrats down ballot.

On January 21, 2024, the first thing a re-elected Biden and the new Democratic majority in Congress must do is to begin the process of restoring full rights of citizenship to America's women. The Biden campaign must repeat that promise every day and to name every one of those reactionary Repugs that wish to see women remain second class citizens. I am confident that many of those Rs will be voted out as well.

14. I really hope repuke women vote for Biden in secret and tell their partners they voted for the maga cult leader.

And then imagine their partners melt down when President Biden is re elected.

17. Mail in votes are a potential problem with the bully.

[bsiebs]

15. And sadder still that men don't get called out enough for their repressive votes...

[orleans]

16. exactly. i'm thinking: how absolutely insane is this. what the fuck happened to this country??? god... nt

[yellowdogintexas]

2. Hope this is publicized heavily. Knowing the Democrats are pushing this hard will be good for the

Democratic Senators who are on the ballot, especially in tight races.

5. I love when a preponderance of old, white

men are deciding the fate of women. Not

[keep_left]

6. Thank heavens for Chuck Schumer. All of this would be unnecessary if voters...

...would do a little more research about candidates, too many of whom are servile toadies for various religious right agendas (radtrad-ism, fundamentalism, etc.). There have even been a couple conservative Democrats like that who sneaked through an election or two. (Anyone remember Dan Lipinski? Well, at least he's gone!). It's hard to believe in 2024 that voters--even "pro-life" voters--would willingly vote to have contraception outlawed. And it's shocking when you meet a few of them--not all are your stereotypical EWTN viewers who are way past their childbearing years.

7. Getting REPUBLICAN women AGAINST Birth Control on the record

Is awesome!

Susie C. and Lisa M.will vote yes. The others, probably not. All the Republican men, yes against Birth Control.

8. The absudity of republican 'politics'.

The Xtian Taliban

[Warpy]

10. What makes them think this is any of their business?

This whole intrusive Republican big government infuriates me no end.

[ProfessorGAC]

11. This Is The Dems

Not repukes.
Schumer is trying to get them on record for voting against a women's right to use contraception.
Actually, I think a few non-crazies on the R side will vote for it & then be able to hang it's failure to move forward on Jihnsin & the troglodytes in the House.
Probably a good political move

[Takket]

12. should be doing this in October, not june.

[CTyankee]

18. Hammer it home every day between now and then. Something is bound to sink in...

[Akakoji]

13. So lets get people in every city in the US to hold press conferences with the results of the vote

Give the media something to do.

[republianmushroom]

19. I like it.

Put those republicans between a rock and a hard spot.
