WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Thursday, in order to combat right-wing attacks on women's reproductive health freedoms, Congressman Hank Johnson (GA-04) voted to defend Georgians' right to access birth control. Passed in response to the Supreme Court's heart-wrenching decision undermining the Constitutional right to privacy, the Right to Contraception Act establishes a statutory right to obtain, use and provide contraception under federal law — preempting Republican attempts to criminalize contraception.

Murray said she was "confused" about why that case wasn't included in "Justice Thomas' long laundry list of rights to be overturned, but it surely would be there."
"Could it be that he himself enjoys that right conferred under Loving?" Johnson asked.
