“Under the Affordable Care Act, contraception is covered as an essential benefit, recognizing its importance to overall healthcare. Yet, this essential health component is one of the many rights under attack by an extreme, politicized Supreme Court. Congress must act now to protect the freedom of individuals to make their own decisions about reproductive health and family planning. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the Right to Contraception Act and ensure this fundamental healthcare benefit isn't the latest right stolen from the millions of Americans who rely on it. ____________________”
