Access to Contraception: Protecting Against State Bans

This act aims to ensure that states cannot ban access to FDA-approved contraception. This means citizens will have assurance that contraceptive products authorized for use by the federal health agency will remain available, regardless of local state laws. The act also protects the right of entities to opt out of providing contraception due to religious or moral beliefs.
Key points
Ensures access to all contraception approved by the federal FDA agency.
Prevents states from banning the prescription, provision, or use of approved contraceptive methods.
Protects the religious and moral freedom of entities that may refuse to provide contraceptive services.
