The US House of Representatives has passed a bill guaranteeing the right to contraception, as Democrats grow worried that the conservative US Supreme Court could strike down that right in the future.The bill passed Thursday with eight Republicans joining 220 Democrats to vote yes. The law faces an uncertain future in the evenly divided US Senate, where Democrats have a slim majority and need 10 Republican votes to overcome a filibuster.“We need federal legislation to make it absolutely clear that people have the right to use and buy birth control,” Democratic Representative Kathy Manning, the bill’s sponsor, said in an interview, the Reuters news agency reported.
