                       RIGHT TO CONTRACEPTION ACT

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, on contraceptives, yesterday, we began 
the process for the Senate to consider the Right to Contraception Act 
led by Senators Markey and Hirono in June.
  Now, more than ever, contraception is a critical piece of protecting 
women's reproductive freedoms, standing as nothing short of a vital 
lifeline for millions of American women across the country.
  Senate Democrats are committed to restoring women's freedoms and will 
fight to protect access to contraception and other reproductive 
freedoms that are essential safeguards for millions of women to control 
their own lives, their futures, and their bodies.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The senior assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
