Restriction on Contraception: Zika Response H.R.2577 Motion to Invoke Cloture
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.
Three-fifths of the total Senate (60 votes) is required to invoke cloture.
(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.) Leader Mitch McConnell switched his vote (from anti-choice to pro-choice) to preserve right to file a motion to reconsider.
This measure negatively impacts reproductive freedom.
