    This is a show vote. It’s not serious… It’s a phony vote because contraception, to my knowledge, is not illegal. It’s not unavailable.

    If you say so, Sen. Corbyn.

    The vote is part of a larger push by Senate Democrats to draw attention to how the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade has affected all aspects of reproductive health…

    They confirm what the republicans are saying in the very next sentence? Who’s editing these articles?

      Not YET illegal. Not YET unavailable. There’s several states looking at ways to change that. Not surprisingly the same states that already have banned abortion or are working on that as well.

      It’s both — the Democrats are trying to highlight important policy differences, and they knew in advance that the Republicans wouldn’t vote for it, making it something of a show vote.
