House Dems., led by Bay State lawmaker, push to force vote on contraception

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

56% : The Right to Contraception Act, according to the bill's text, would "protect an individual'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" by making access to contraceptives a legally protected right.
49% : The state's top Democratic politician has joined several of her House colleagues in an attempt to force a vote on legal protections for contraception.
43% : Protecting the right to access and provide contraception free from government interference should be easy, but MAGA extremists want to make it hard.
29% : Clark's discharge petition, according to the rules of Congress, could remove the Right to Contraception Act from committee -- it's been stuck in the Committee on Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Health since shortly after its introduction by North Carolina Rep. Kathy Manning last June -- and force it to a vote on the House floor.
