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