We must protect the right to contraception before it’s too late.
When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote that the court should also “reconsider” the right to contraception.
A month later, Congress voted on the Right to Contraception Act. Ninety percent of House Republicans voted against it, including Arizona Reps. Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar, David Schweikert, and Debbie Lesko.
Seeing the threat to contraception, Arizona leaders like Governor Hobbs stepped up in support of a statewide Right to Contraception Act. The bill would have protected basic contraception like IUDs and Plan B in Arizona. But every Republican in the state legislature voted it DOWN.
"Bayer Company invented aspirin. Put it between your knees," said Arizona Senate Majority Leader Sonny Borrelli, suggesting that women should stop having sex rather than using contraception. Kari Lake, who is running for U.S. Senate with the endorsement of Sen. Borrelli, has firmly stated "I believe life begins at conception." This language is exactly what puts IVF and birth control at risk.
We can't let them get away with it. We need to make sure our representatives know that we will not stand for anyone who sits idly by while our fundamental right to contraception is at risk. Will you help us spread the word that we need action and we need it now -- anything less than full support for the Right to Contraception Act will be remembered.
