A House Republican from New York, Rep. Marc Molinaro, has accused his Democratic colleague, Rep. Kathy Manning, of preventing him from cosponsoring a pro-contraception bill. The bill in question is the Right to Contraception Act, introduced by Manning, which aims to protect individuals' access to birth control and healthcare providers' ability to offer contraception.
Molinaro, a Freshman House member, claims that his opponent in the New York 19th District race, Josh Riley, is using this issue against him in attack ads. Molinaro shared emails from his staff to Manning, showing multiple requests to be added as a cosponsor of the bill.
