In neither article do I read and then KILL the bill themselves in the Senate and now say they're going to use that as ammo against repulsecans in this election cycle. Isn't that what mitch does?

Rather.....

Recent state level fights over contraception also cast a shadow over Wednesday’s vote. In May, Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin vetoed a bill that would have established a right to contraception in the state, and GOP lawmakers in Arizona and Louisiana blocked legislation that would have done the same.

House Democrats are pushing the issue as well as they work to regain a majority, using a discharge petition that aims to force a floor vote. No Republicans have yet signed on.

Seems legitimate to me to get the GOP on the record on what their objections are to contraception. GOP protests that there is no opposition ring hollow, to me.

What's wrong with this picture?

Nothing. You said:

The dems are pushing a bill to codify womens rights for all forms of contraception, condemning the repulsecans for not supporting the bill and then KILL the bill themselves in the Senate...

What? From the article:

Senate Republicans blocked passage Wednesday of a bill to protect Americans’ access to birth control, one of several legislative actions Democrats have pledged on reproductive rights in the leadup to the November election.

The Dems knew the Republicans would kill the bill in the Senate, and would do the same in the House. The obvious idea is to get specific members on the record and use that to campaign against them.
