No-Cost Birth Control: Keeping the Promise for All Women

birth-control.jpg When the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) followed medical experts' advice and announced that newly issued insurance plans must cover all FDA-approved birth-control methods without a copay, it marked one of the greatest improvements to women's health in a generation.

Unfortunately, anti-contraception forces are trying to chip away at this achievement.

Led by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, these forces have launched a massive campaign to allow employers who oppose contraception to deny their employees a health plan that covers contraception.

Who loses if these anti-birth-control forces win? Nurses, teachers, administrative staff, maintenance workers, professors--we're talking about our friends, neighbors, and family-members all across America.

Ninety-eight percent of American women--of all faiths and backgrounds--use birth control at some point in their lives.

NARAL Pro-Choice America believes that all women, regardless of their employer, should have access to contraception coverage.

Call on the White House to stand with the women of America and make sure no-cost birth control is available to every woman.
