The Right to Contraception Act upholds our constitutional right to access #BirthControl. This fundamental right was recognized by #SCOTUS almost 60 yrs ago. Birth control is not just necessary—it’s extremely popular: an overwhelming 88% of Americans support a person’s access to birth control on their own terms, & 81% of voters favor the #RightToContraceptionAct. It is vital to support this legislation to protect our rights & #freedoms.

American Voters,

I wrote my Rep. a letter: Protect our Reproductive Freedoms. Support the #RightToContraceptionAct. (The link at the bottom makes it SUPER easy to do so!)

First, abortion. Then, IVF. Now, conservative lawmakers are putting #contraception at risk
Some lawmakers say they support the right to contraception. But when they actually have a chance to protect it, they won’t.

Case in point: On June 5, 2024, Republican senators DEFEATED the Right to Contraception Act. They blocked the passage of a simple bill that would have protected Americans' right to basic birth control like the pill, Plan B, condoms, and IUDs.

But we have another path forward. A petition is being circulated around the House of Representatives that -- if they get enough signatures -- forces the Republican majority to bring the Right to Contraception Act to a vote in the House.

Ask your representative: Do they support the right to contraception? Will they sign the petition and stand up for our freedom to plan our families?

Every day, it seems like certain elected officials have been possessed by the ghost of Cotton Mather.

By my calculation, we're a few weeks from them labeling any unwed girl over 15 a witch. #politics #righttocontraceptionact

#Senate #Republicans #obstructed #legislation Wed to enshrine a #FederalRight to #access #contraception.

The vote on the #RightToContraceptionAct was 51-39, falling short of the 60 votes needed to defeat a #filibuster & move forward. Republicans said the bill is unnecessary as the use of #BirthControl is protected under #SCOTUS precedent [as if #SupremeCourt precedent means anything anymore].

Senate Republicans block bill to protect access to contraception

Senate Republicans blocked legislation that would enshrine a federal right to access contraception, sinking the Democratic-led measure and calling it an election-year stunt.

Just got this message. I'm so fucking tired, but if you're in the US, please add your name.

Opposing the right to contraception was once a fringe position. But clearly, something has changed:

🔴 GOP-led states are pushing bills that could ban IUDs and Plan B.

🔴 Trump said he’s “looking at” policies that could restrict birth control access.

🔴 The Right to Contraception Act is coming up for a vote in the Senate, and many Republican senators are planning to vote against it.

If you want a chance to protect the freedom to plan our families, urge the Senate to pass the Right to Contraception Act: www.americansforcontraception.org/rtca-3
