Craig R. O’Connor, Planned
Parenthood Votes! Rhode Island
Trump and Congressional Republicans have taken aim at
health care—particularly undermining women’s health. Thanks to the Affordable
Care Act, access to affordable, convenient, and effective contraception has led
to significant declines in unintended pregnancies, abortion, and unplanned
births.
Rhode Island cannot afford to go backward!

- Ø Protect the current $0 cost-sharing for contraception by preserving in RI law the provision of Affordable Care Act (ACA) that says birth control is a preventive health care service.
- Ø Allow prescribing and dispensing of birth control up to a full year at a time.
- Ø Ensure affordability and accessibility of the most effective forms of contraception, including long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) option such as IUDs and implants.
Let's keep Rhode Island up-to-date with other states that
have already passed similar laws, including Massachusetts, Vermont, Maine and
New York.
The Trump-Pence administration and Congressional
Republicans have ended the Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program, made it easier
for employers to opt-out of providing birth control coverage, and proposed
radical changes to the Title X program.
We must act now to protect access to birth control in
Rhode Island against the attacks and policies from Washington D.C.
Ask your State Representative and the House Corporations
Committee to protect access to birth control in Rhode Island. Add your name
