Rosen Helps Introduce Right to Contraception Act

WASHINGTON, DC– U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) joined her Senate colleagues to help introduce theRight to Contraception Act. This bill would reaffirm the explicit legal right to obtain and use contraceptives, and ensure health care providers have a right to give contraceptives and share information about it.
“As anti-choice extremists continue trying to restrict women’s ability to access reproductive care, it’s clear that we must protect the right to contraception in federal law,”said Senator Rosen.“This legislation would help protect a woman’s fundamental right to make decisions about her own body and keep extreme politicians out of her doctor’s offices. I’ll continue working to protect our reproductive rights.”
Senator Rosen has been working to restore reproductive freedoms and oppose anti-choice efforts to restrict access to care. She has previouslyvoted to protectwomen’s constitutional right to access birth control. Last year, she alsovoted to supportthe passage of theReproductive Freedom for Women Act, which was blocked by Senate Republicans. Senator Rosenjoined legislationto safeguard IVF treatments in federal law and helped introduce theLet Doctors Provide Reproductive Health Care Actto protect health care professionals from being prosecuted for providing reproductive care to their patients.
