In the weeks following the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, Democrats have only further exposed what seems to be a disdain for babies. On Thursday, House Democrats passed the Right to Contraception Act, "so that people have the freedom to make their own decisions about their families and futures."
But as many, including the Supreme Court, have stated, rights are inherent and come from God, not Congress. Furthermore, reproductive issues are state issues, not federal issues, a fact made very clear in the Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.
What does the bill actually say? Well, the language in the bill states: "To protect a person's ability to access contraceptives and to engage in contraception, and to protect a health care provider's ability to provide contraceptives, contraception, and information related to contraception."
Democrats took to Twitter to pat themselves on the back. Here's what that looked like:
Extreme Republican plans to ban birth control will jeopardize women’s lives and their health.

If they took a vote today to take away the right for women to vote the Republicans would vote yes including the Republican Women . Seriously....

Birth control is key to ensuring the health of millions and allows people to remain in control of their bodies, health, and futures.
My bill, the Right to Contraception Act, will codify the right to access the full range of contraceptive methods into federal law.

Today I voted for the passage of The Right to Contraception Act to provide federal protection for access to contraception and contraceptive. Once signed into law, states won't be able to block or take away family planning tools from Americans.

Deciding whether to start or grow a family is one of the most important decisions a woman makes. It belongs to her – not the government.
I’m helping to lead the fight to keep it that way w/ the Right to Contraception Act, which will protect & expand access to contraceptives.
