Original Note:
This was a reintroduced bill which failed last year, which some lawmakers argued violates religious freedom. https://www.markey.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/right_to_contraception_act_-_061423pdf.pdf https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healthcare/house-passes-contraception-bill-despite-religious-freedom-fears It is also claimed that the bill used an overly broad definition of contraception and could provide funding for abortion providers and "abortion-inducing drugs." https://www.kiro7.com/news/local/bill-reintroduced-congress-gives-federal-protection-right-birth-control-access/ALFUIG3X65CZXMS3GVOH2HYTTQ/
