The right to use contraceptives would be written into law under a measure that Democrats pushed through the House on Thursday, their latest campaign-season response to concerns a conservative Supreme Court that already erased federal abortion rights.

Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash. The bill lets the federal and state government, patients and health care providers bring civil suits against states or state officials that violate its provisions.
