Fox News: Senate GOP blocks bill to restore free contraception coverage under health care lawhttp://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/07/1...ree-contraception-coverage-under-health-care/http://www.foxnews.com/us/2014/07/1...ree-contraception-coverage-under-health-care/

WASHINGTON – Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked a bill aimed at restoring free contraception for women who get their health insurance from companies with religious objections, a legislative setback for Democrats that they hope will be a political winner in November's elections.

The vote was 56-43 to move ahead on the measure, short of the 60 votes necessary to proceed.

Democrats sponsored the election-year bill to reverse last month's Supreme Court ruling that closely held businesses with religious objections could deny coverage under President Barack Obama's health care law.

Republicans called the bill a political stunt aimed at helping vulnerable Democratic incumbents in the elections.

Cue Harry's whining and a threat to extend the "nuclear option" to all aspects of Senate procedural votes.

Even if it were passed, the first case that reaches SCOTUS will result in the law being ruled unconstitutional.

Democrats are playing political games with an eye on the 2014 elections.

More young women's votes driven to the Democrats.

Along with some effeminate men.

Doubtful.

This probably won't swing a single vote.

Democrats already get all the votes of the baby killers.
