Freedom of Choice Act reintroduced

In the wake of the Supreme Court's rightwards lurch US Senator Barbara Boxer (D - CA) and US Representative Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) have reintroduced the Freedom of Choice Act (text - PDF) which would codify a woman's right to contraception as well as to terminate a pregnancy.

It is purely ceremonial of course because there is absolutely no chance of getting a veto proof majority.
