I don't understand how there are ANY Republicans that aren't rich old white men. Every other demog is voting against their own interest.
There's a lot of different reasons, but they all essentially boil down to "I got mine, fuck all of y'all."
Except that that are voting to *not* "got theirs"
You see, the real power of the Republicans is, they are hood at finding and corralling single issue voters. Then they promise to deliver on
Those issues. Hate gays? We'll make gay marriage illegal and reinstate Sodomy laws. Catholic? We'll outlaw abortion and contraceptives.

Just today, they voted against keeping birth control legal.
And the Senate Dems voted UNANIMOUSLY with them to protect the GQP SCOTUS from protests over its decisions.

Because it is protected based on a supreme court case. And we've just seen how something protected by the SC can be overturned.
Further note: there are a number of republican state legislatures that want to ban contraceptive in their states. Part of the why, too.

Religion doesn't like contraceptives. So by saying yes you're going against their religious freedoms. Come on,get with the program. Sheesh.
But I'm not forcing them to use contraceptives. I'm not forcing them to get abortions either. I seriously don't get their issue.
[deleted]
Their issue is, they want to be able to tell other people what they can and can't do, while not being told by anyone else what they can and
Can't do, and they think that pretending to some moral imperative granted them by their religion justifies it.
The bill specifically says it overrides another federal law called the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which protects religious freedoms
I read the bill. I didn't see that. Link?
https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/117/hr8373/text Section 5(a)(1)
Basically, it says you can't use your religion to prevent me from obtaining birth control.

Religion doesn't like contraceptives. So by saying yes you're going against their religious freedoms. Come on,get with the program. Sheesh.

But I'm not forcing them to use contraceptives. I'm not forcing them to get abortions either. I seriously don't get their issue.

Their issue is, they want to be able to tell other people what they can and can't do, while not being told by anyone else what they can and

Can't do, and they think that pretending to some moral imperative granted them by their religion justifies it.

The bill specifically says it overrides another federal law called the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which protects religious freedoms

No. If you look at the screenshot the vote is specifically for HR.8373, which is the contraception-specific part.

More people voted yes so that mean it will remain right?

No, this moves to the senate, which is currently locked up because liberals have the slimmest majority

Googling "Birth Control Vote?" GTFOH. Republicans voted 195-8 *against* protecting the right to contraceptives.

But that would block other people’s rights to interfere with your freedoms!!!!!

It's just another Day That Ends In Y for the modern GOP. There is no moral defense for voting for any of them.

Yeah but this is going wildly out of control wildly fast. As is the times, I guess
