Birth Control
Ensuring women access to birth control is essential to preventing unplanned pregnancy and reducing the need for abortion. Birth control is basic healthcare for many women, and therefore should be widely available and covered by insurance. Studies indicate that 40 million women of reproductive age are sexually active and wish to prevent unintended pregnancy. Nevertheless, the far right continues to block women’s access to contraception. Below, you can read more about NARAL’s work to increase the availability of emergency contraception, protect patients’ rights to have valid prescriptions filled without judgment or discrimination, and ensure family planning services are covered by insurance.
