Senator Murray Hails Biden-Harris Rule to Make Birth Control More Affordable & Accessible, Warns of GOP Efforts to Restrict Access to Contraception

Press Release

“Birth control—and any kind of contraception—is just basic health care, and it should be covered and easy to get. Women in America should not have to jump through hoops to make sure insurance is covering their basic reproductive health care needs. This proposed rule by the Biden-Harris administration would deliver meaningful progress as we work to make health care more affordable and accessible. However, we should not forget that Republicans have consistently sought to undermine access to contraception and far-right extremists have even sought to limit access or even ban basic forms of contraception—this threat to our health care is real and serious. While Republicans continue to attack standard and necessary forms of health care, Democrats will continue to fight to expand access to contraception and lower health care costs for everyone.”
