At the very core of our liberty as modern women is the ability to control our fertility and plan our families, but there is an all-out attack on birth control in this country.
Religious and political extremists are trying to make it impossible for women to fill their birth control prescriptions or get the morning-after pill to prevent pregnancies. Their efforts to limit pharmacy access especially affect women in rural areas with few pharmacies, and low income women with limited transportation.
We congratulate Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) for introducing the Access to Birth Control Act (ABC) to restore contraceptive options to those who most need them.
