Bruce Braley released the following statement after Republicans in the US Senate voted to block legislation that would have reversed the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision:

"I am immensely disappointed that today Senate Republicans blocked efforts to restore a woman's ability to access contraception after the Supreme Court's harmful Hobby Lobby decision. Women in Iowa deserve equal access to health care, and their ability to purchase contraception should never be subject to interference from their employers. I strongly believe women in Iowa should be able to make their own health care choices without their bosses' interference, and I would fight tirelessly to protect women's health care rights in the U.S Senate."
