The recent vote by Senate Republicans to block a bill protecting access to contraception is deeply concerning. As evidenced by the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade, fundamental reproductive rights are at risk of being stripped away. Contraception has allowed millions of women to control their own bodies and plan their families responsibly. This essential healthcare should not be a target for ideological attacks. I urge you to support legislation safeguarding the right to access safe and effective birth control methods without interference or restrictions based on personal beliefs. Protecting contraceptive access upholds reproductive autonomy and prevents government overreach into private healthcare decisions. Women's ability to determine if and when to have children should be a guaranteed freedom. Please act to enshrine this right before it's too late.
