Either you don't know what the issue was about or you don't care. I'm guess you don't know. So next time read about it. Find out what was being voted on. Find out that maybe just maybe the Dem's tried to do something that was not in the best interest of women. Just be an informed voter. Here is a bit of what was going on. If you want to find the rest take a few minutes out and learn. Washington Republican ​​Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers argued Democrats’ bill was “poorly drafted” and criticized them for including a definition of contraceptives that would include Food and Drug Administration-approved prescriptions and products, but a definition of contraception that is not necessarily strictly limited to FDA-licensed products. Democrats’ bill defined contraception as “an action taken to prevent pregnancy, including the use of contraceptives or fertility-awareness based methods, and sterilization procedures.” “Women deserve the truth, not more fear and misinformation that forces an extreme agenda on the American people,” McMorris Rodgers said. 18 and older House Republicans tried to use a procedural move to bring up legislation they support that would preserve access to oral contraceptives for people 18 and older. Iowa Republican Rep. Ashley Hinson offered the bill through the motion to recommit procedural floor process. It was rejected 190-234 legislation, she said, would require the U.S. Food and Drug Administration “to give priority review for over-the-counter access for routine use oral contraceptives that the agency has already deemed safe for women aged 18 and up.” “Women should be able to access their preferred birth control method conveniently,” Hinson said. “Unfortunately, that is not the reality for many women,” she continued. “In rural Iowa some women have to drive an hour to be able to see a gynecologist and that means taking a day off of work, finding additional child care, spending hours in a car, paying expensive gas prices to get there.” The measure wouldn’t enshrine access to other forms of birth control, such as IUDs or forms of birth control not taken orally. It also wouldn’t cover emergency contraception, often called Plan B.
