Dear Friend,
Two years ago, extremist Republicans dangerously blocked the Right to
Contraception Act in Congress, leaving the door wide open for them to ban
essential birth control methods like IUDs, the birth control pill, and
Plan B. This attack on our reproductive rights is a deliberate and
devastating move to strip us of our full range of health options and
control over our own bodies.
[ [link removed] ]But tomorrow, our U.S. Senators have a pivotal opportunity to pass the
Right to Contraception Act and enshrine the right to contraception in
federal law. Sign our petition and send a letter to your Senators today.

Let’s backtrack a little. What do we mean by the right to contraception?
Contraception is about preventing pregnancy. It includes methods like
condoms, IUDs, the pill, the ring, the patch, and Plan B. For many women,
especially mothers, access to contraception is crucial. It allows us to
plan our families, pursue careers, contribute to the economy, and maintain
our health and well-being. Over 90% of women use contraception at some
point in their lives. The Right to Contraception Act–being voted on in the
U.S. Senate tomorrow–guarantees all of that.[1]
The Right to Contraception Act would also ensure that health care
providers can provide contraception to their patients whenever necessary.
Also, the vast majority of Americans agree that people should have access
to contraception. In fact, around 90 percent of Americans said that birth
control options should be legal in “all” or “most” cases.[ [link removed] ]

Contraception Act! *When you click you'll instantly sign on if we have all
the required information.
For decades, contraception has been legally separate from abortion. Yet,
now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned, some right-wing lawmakers are
aggressively pushing bills that redefine emergency contraception and IUDs
as “abortifacients.” At the national level and state level right-wing
politicians are seeing how far they can push, falsely claiming IUDs,
certain birth control pills, and Plan B cause abortions. Their goal is
clear: to ban essential contraceptives as well. Their assertions are not
only scientifically unfounded but also just plain old wrong!
Currently, the right to contraception in the U.S. is upheld by Supreme
Court's cases that date back over 50 years! It’s incredibly important that
the U.S. Congress codify and protect contraception nationally!
[ [link removed] ]When you click here you will automatically be signed on to our letter
(if we already have your information) that says the following:
Dear Senator,
As a member of MomsRising, an organization with over one million members,
I am writing to urge that you vote YES on the Right to Contraception Act.
This policy will guarantee the legal right for individuals to get and use
contraception. The bill would also ensure that health care providers can
provide contraception to their patients whenever necessary.
Access to contraception is crucial for many women, especially moms! It
allows us to plan our families, pursue careers, contribute to the economy,
and maintain our health and well-being. Over 90% of women use
contraception at some point in their lives. The vast majority of Americans
agree that people should have access to contraception. In fact, around 90
percent of Americans said that birth control options should be legal in
“all” or “most” cases.
It is incredibly important that the U.S. Congress codifies and protects
contraception nationally by passing the Right to Contraception Act now.
Thank you,
[Your Name]
*The U.S. Senate is voting tomorrow on the Right to Contraception Act so
make sure to sign our letter now and then forward this email to your
friends and family so they can sign on as well!
These attacks on contraception are appalling. They affect all of us. And
if we stay silent, they won’t stop. Join us in speaking out!
