Federal Issues - Affordable Birth Control and Other Preventative Care

Birth Control Matters

All people deserve access to preventive family planning services that can help them plan when and whether to have children and make responsible decisions about their health, their lives, and their futures.

In 2009, you helped us restore affordable birth control to women across the country by fighting for the Prevention Through Affordable Access Act. Because of a technical error made by Congress in 2005, the cost of birth control in many health centers and college campuses has risen as much as 900 percent over previous costs. With your help and support, we put an end to sky-rocketing birth control costs and helped pass the Prevention Through Affordable Access Act.

Now, we need your help again! In these increasingly difficult economic times every woman should have access to the birth control that works best for her. No co-pays for birth control is the single most important step we can take to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies.
