Democratic
Senators’ attempt to nullify the Supreme Court’s ruling in Hobby Lobby
and force religious employers to pay for every type of contraceptive
coverage required by Obamacare failed to pass a cloture vote Wednesday.
The bill, introduced by
Democratic Senators Patty Murray and Mark Udall, failed to pass a vote
Wednesday afternoon, as expected. The Senate voted 56-43 against
invoking cloture on the legislation.
The bill would have effectively
annulled the Supreme Court ruling by making it impossible for employers
to claim exemption from Obamacare’s full contraceptive mandate through
the Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
