The right to access contraception is fundamental to individual privacy, health, and the ability to determine if and when to have children. All people should be able to obtain safe and effective contraceptives from their health care providers without burdensome restrictions or requirements that impede access. Protecting contraceptive access ensures that Americans maintain control over this critical aspect of their reproductive health care and family planning. This preserves the rights and freedoms so essential to fully participating in society and making deeply personal decisions about one's own life course. Safeguarding access to contraception through federal legislation is warranted to secure these liberties for all, regardless of circumstances.
