CWN Editor's Note: A “Right to Contraception Act” failed to advance in the US Senate on a key procedural vote on June 5.

Access to contraceptives is not in danger, opponents of the legislation observed. But Terry Schilling of the American Principles Project argued that “in the details [of the bill] lurks a radical change, which the vast majority of Americans oppose.”
