The vote on the Right To Contraception Act was 51-39 , falling short of the 60 votes needed to defeat a filibuster.
Republicans said the bill is unnecessary as the use of birth control is already protected under Supreme Court precedent.
Democrats expected the GOP to scuttle the measure and brought it up as an election-year "messaging" push.
Some Republicans felt it'd be beneficial to go on “offense” by voting to begin debate on the bill rather than filibustering it from the start.
Others said that extending the process would tie up the Senate floor so Democrats couldn’t move forward with other planned messaging bills as soon as next week .
