Guided by our Jewish values, National Council of Jewish Women has long affirmed the need for access to family planning, including contraceptives. The Right to Contraception Act (HR 4121/S 1999), introduced by Senators Edward Markey (D-MA), Mazie Hirono (D-HI), Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Representative Kathy Manning (D-NC), would reaffirm the right to use birth control first recognized by the Supreme Court more than half a century ago in Griswold v. Connecticut. This bicameral legislation would protect unrestricted access to contraception in the face of growing threats by ensuring the legal right for individuals to use contraception and practitioners to provide contraception and related information. Enshrining the right to contraception into federal law would reverse steps already taken by state legislatures to restrict access to contraceptives and ensure that any future court rulings would not endanger access to this essential health care. Contact your lawmakers and urge them to pass the Right to Contraception Act to protect birth control access for all.

#NWYCActionAlert: S.4381 - Right to Contraception Act The Right to Contraception Act would guarantee the right for people to obtain and use contraceptives and for health providers to prescribe contraceptives and give information related to contraception, free from government interference. Democrats are aiming to put pressure on Republicans with a vote on access to contraceptives. Democrats say polls show voters favor reproductive freedom, not restrictions. The Senate is expected to hold a procedural vote Wednesday on a bill (S.4381) to protect access to contraception, the first of at least two reproductive health bills Democrats are pushing ahead of the second anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Know #BothSides and #TakeAction: Should Congress pass S.4381, the Right to Contraception Act? https://bit.ly/4aV90ho

Have you heard about the Right to Contraception Act? The bill would guarantee an individual’s right to obtain birth control and affirm the right of health care providers to support their patients–and next week, the Senate will hold a floor vote on it. As Rachel Fey from Power to Decide states, “We don’t have broad access to the full range of contraceptive methods for everyone in this country, particularly not for people who are struggling to make ends meet.” This bill matters because access to contraception remains inequitable, particularly for millions of low-income individuals, people of color, and those from other marginalized communities. The Right to Contraception Act will help dismantle these barriers, ensuring that contraception is available to all, regardless of race, socioeconomic status or geographic location.

JUST IN: #Virginia would follow US Supreme Court precedence on the right to #contraception under a bill the governor amended and sent back to the legislature. The proposal sent late Monday by Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) states that “individuals possess the right to access contraception as set forth” in the Supreme Court’s rulings in Griswold v. Connecticut in 1965 and Eisenstadt v. Baird in 1972. Justices said in those decisions that the right to privacy protects the rights of married couples and individuals to access contraceptives. Youngkin’s measure is less comprehensive than the version passed by the Democratic-led legislature last month (SB 237) prohibiting any laws, regulations, or other state policies that restrict the sale, provision, or use of any contraceptives approved by the Food and Drug Administration, including oral contraceptives, emergency contraceptives like Plan B, and intrauterine devices, or IUDs. The bill from the state legislature also outlines how the state attorney general or individuals could initiate a civil cause of action for alleged interference with the right to obtain or engage in contraception.

Today is the 52nd anniversary of #Eisenstadt v. Baird 🎉, the #SCOTUS decision that granted the right to contraception for people who aren’t married - a monumental step in 1972. In 2024, more needs to be done to ensure contraceptive equity for ALL. We are proud to have sponsored the Contraceptive Coverage Equity Act to require coverage of over-the-counter birth control options and vasectomies + expand benefits coverage to more California workers and students. Everyone should have equitable access to the contraceptive method that is right for them, regardless of their race, ethnicity, age, gender or income.
