The Supreme Court's Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade has put access to contraceptives at risk in states across the country. Justice Clarence Thomas explicitly called for the Court to reconsider its landmark rulings protecting the right to contraception.
Despite the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and the explicit threat to contraception access, Congress has so far failed to protect our reproductive rights.
Without federal legislation safeguarding this fundamental right, millions of Americans could lose the ability to access birth control and make their own reproductive choices.
From enacting legislation that guarantees access to a full range of contraceptive options, to removing financial barriers, and ensuring that healthcare providers can offer these services without fear of legal repercussions, it's time for states to step up where Congress fell short.
Tell your governor and state legislators to take immediate, concrete action to safeguard contraception access now.
Without contraception, the rates and costs of unintended pregnancy, poor maternal health outcomes, and abortion would all sharply increase. The burden would fall disproportionately on low-income and marginalized communities.
Denying access to contraceptives to those who want and need them would only harm the health, autonomy, and well-being of millions of Americans.
That’s why state leaders must demonstrate their commitment to protecting the health and autonomy of their constituents.
This includes passing laws that mandate insurance coverage for contraceptives without out-of-pocket costs, supporting public health programs that provide free or low-cost contraceptive services, and safeguarding healthcare providers who offer these essential services.
Join the fight! Tell your governor and state representatives that you demand they do everything in their power to guarantee contraception access in your state.
Thank you for fighting to protect essential birth control.
