What is the US waiting for?
The answer to the question above is that this is an election season, and the Democrats want to use abortion as an issue. Consequently, they will not make Over-the-counter contraception available without a prescription.
Do the Democrats have moral objections to it? Not likely. There are moral objections to abortion. That doesn't seem to bother them any.
There are those in the GOP who MIGHT have moral objections to it, but it might not be enough to doom the bill. It takes a solid block of one party versus another to block the bill.
This appears to be a party line vote according to the information in the link. It COULD pass if party politics were not involved. It DOES appear that the Democrats are blocking it. The only reasonable explanation is that the Democrats are using abortion as a campaign issue. Clearly, they believe this helps them politically. Some of them have said so openly.
But it doesn't go with the line that they care about women's issues, now does it?
