Schumer plans vote on 'constitutional right to contraception' in bid to protect Senate Democrat majority

The bill’s language says it "sets out statutory protections for an individual's right to access and a health care provider's right to provide contraception and related information."  Danielle Wallace is a reporter for Fox News Digital covering politics, crime, police and more.

"This is a clarifying political vote that will put every Republican on record as to whether or not they believe in a constitutional right to contraception," the bill’s lead sponsor, Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass., told the New York Times.
