In an election-year move aimed at highlighting reproductive rights issues, Senate Democrats are set to hold a vote on legislation to safeguard women's access to contraception. The test vote, scheduled for Wednesday, comes amidst a political landscape where bipartisan legislation seems unlikely before the upcoming elections.
The Senate Majority Leader, Chuck Schumer, and Democrats are focusing on issues they believe can sway voters in their favor. While the bills in question are not expected to pass due to the Senate's composition, Democrats are determined to emphasize their commitment to defending reproductive freedoms.
