I take exception to the way "Democrats use legislative tactics to force Sears to vote on contraception bill" is narrated. It makes it look like Republicans are against contraception which they really aren't. They really oppose Plan B contraception being forced onto entities that have religious opposition to it. Younkins veto last year on the same Bill was pretty clear that we need to keep access to contraception while also not violating constitutional religious freedoms. Democrats refuse to cede this point which fundamentally would force all entities regardless of religious beliefs to provide the Plan B contraception. The Democrats then forced the vote so that Sears was left to vote on the tie. After the bill failed, the two Democratic representatives then flipped there vote to a YES to pass the bill. It is a political hit job staged by the Democrats.
