Restriction on Contraception: Zika Response
Zika Response and Preparedness Act, H.R.2577. Motion to invoke cloture on the conference report to accompany H.R.2577, which restricts access to contraception by excluding family-planning providers from receiving Zika response funds. (Some anti-choice lawmakers cast what appear to be pro-choice votes; most observers recognize that those votes were cast for reasons unrelated to reproductive health.) Three-fifths of the total Senate (60 votes) is required to invoke cloture.
This measure negatively impacts reproductive freedom.
