Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski joined a bipartisan coalition to introduce a bill that would protect abortion and contraception access. The measure comes as abortion becomes a key issue in Murkowski’s reelection campaign.
Despite the bill’s bipartisan co-sponsors — Tim Kaine, D-Va., Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Murkowski — it is unlikely to clear the 60 votes necessary to overcome a GOP filibuster.

Murkowski voted in May against the House’s abortion bill, the Women’s Health Protection Act, because she said it went too far beyond codifying Roe. She hasMurkowski has tried to codify Roe v. Wade before. Alongside Collins, she introduced a bill to protect Roe v. Wade in February. However, the bill has not advanced since.
