A bill considered by lawmakers on Capitol Hill Wednesday would have guaranteed access to contraceptives across the country, but it failed in the Senate. The bill, championed by Democrats, won a 51-39 majority, but fell short of the 60 votes needed for it to pass.
The vote took place just weeks before the second anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade on June 24.
