Sen. Markey Holds A News Conference On The "Right To Contraception Act"

WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 5: Sen. Ed Markey (D-MA), Chair of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pension (HELP) Committee's Subcommittee on Primary Health & Retirement Security, speaks during a news conference on the Right to Contraception Act outside the U.S. Capitol on June 5, 2024 in Washington, DC. Senate Democrats, seeking to put reproductive rights at center stage heading into November's election, are holding a vote to move forward with legislation designed to protect women's access to contraception yet, it is unlikely that the bill will pass the Senate, where the slim margin majority Democrats would need 60 votes, much less the Republican-led House.
