Right to Contraception Act

# Right to Contraception Act Summary **What the Bill Does** The Right to Contraception Act would establish a federal law protecting Americans' access to contraception and healthcare providers' ability to prescribe it. The bill would prevent states from restricting or banning birth control methods and would protect doctors and patients from liability for contraception-related decisions. It would also ensure contraceptive coverage in health insurance plans. **Who It Affects** This legislation would impact women and people of reproductive age seeking birth control access, healthcare providers prescribing contraception, and insurance companies.

It would override any state laws that currently restrict contraceptive access and would apply nationwide. **Key Provisions & Current Status** The bill addresses civil liability protections for patients and providers, federal protections for contraceptive access, and healthcare coverage requirements. As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. The bill was introduced in response to concerns about potential restrictions on contraception access following changes to abortion law.
