Representative Goodlander Helps Introduce Legislation To Codify the Right To Contraception


Washington, D.C. – Today, Representative Maggie Goodlander helped introduce the Right to Contraception Act, legislation to codify the right for Americans to access contraception and to protect the right of health care providers to provide contraceptives. Goodlander is an original co-sponsor of the bill.

“We cannot live freely without control over our own bodies and access to the reproductive health care we need. That includes the right to access contraception,” said Representative Goodlander. “I am proud to help introduce this legislation today and I will never stop fighting for reproductive freedom in the People’s House.”

If enacted, the Right to Contraception Act would:

  • Create a federal right for people to obtain contraceptives; 
  • Establish a right for health care providers to provide contraceptives and information related to contraception; 
  • Allow the Department of Justice, as well as providers and individuals harmed by restrictions on contraception access made unlawful under the legislation, to go to court to enforce these rights; and 
  • Protect access to a range of contraceptive methods, devices, and medications used to prevent pregnancy, including but not limited to oral contraceptives, emergency contraceptives, and intrauterine devices (IUDs).
