The right to use contraceptives would be written into law under a measure that Democrats pushed through the House on Thursday, their latest campaign-season response to concerns a conservative Supreme Court that already erased federal abortion rights.

After the federal right to abortion was overturned, Democrats say they want marriage equality on the books. “Women deserve the truth, not more fear and misinformation that forces an extreme agenda on the American people,” said Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash. The bill lets the federal and state government, patients and health care providers bring civil suits against states or state officials that violate its provisions.
