Contraceptive access is essential for reproductive justice, & it supports everyone in planning pregnancies safely & on their own terms.

Across the US, policies continue to shift, insurance coverage varies by state, & ongoing federal & state level debates continue to shape what care is available.

If the shutdown continues, millions could face the same uncertainty again in December.
