All 50 Senate Democrats were joined by 12 Republicans in voting ‘yes’ on a procedural vote and advance a bill to protect same-sex marriages.

Millions of people voted in elections that will shape U.S. sexual and reproductive health and rights policy in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s devastating decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and eliminate the constitutional right to abortion.
