House of Representatives The United States approved this Thursday a bill aimed at protecting access to contraception throughout the country.

With 228 votes in favor and 195 against, only 8 Republican lawmakers voted in favor of the measure along with Democrats.

Progressives believed that right was now under threat following the recent verdict Supreme Court country that abolished the legal protection of abortion, which operated in the United States for 50 years.

Seeking Senate approval

The bill now has to go to the Senate, where piracy rules mean that, in practice, almost any piece of legislation needs to be qualified majority of 60 votes to get ahead.

Democrats are currently 50 out of 100 places the upper house, so they will need the support of at least 10 Republican Senators take the measure.

The House of Representatives recently passed a similar bill to legally protect same-sex marriage, which received support 47 Republican legislatorsin addition to those of all Democrats.

Some US media are pointing out that this recent legislative push is a way to force conservatives portray themselves against the background of social problems that have broad social support in the face of legislative elections in November.

On the other hand, most polls predict loss of legislative power Democrats in the elections, who could lose their majority in the House of Representatives, so passing this kind of legislation will become even more difficult.

The Supreme Court’s decision in June that abolished the right to abortion made it clear that the decision should not be interpreted as a precedent for the abolition of other rights.

However, agreeing with this decision, the conservative judge Clarence Thomas he proposed revisiting legal precedents protecting same-sex marriage and access to contraceptives.
