Right to Contraception Act

Policy Area: Health

Sponsor: Rep. Manning, Kathy E. [D-NC-6] (D-NC)

Latest Action (2022-07-21): Received in the Senate.

Summary

Right to Contraception Act This bill sets out statutory protections for an individual's right to access and a health care provider's right to provide contraception and related information. Contraception refers to an action taken to prevent pregnancy, including the use of contraceptives (i.e., a device or medication used to prevent pregnancy), fertility-awareness based methods, and sterilization procedures. Generally, the bill prohibits measures that single out and impede access to contraception and related information. However, a party may defend against a claim that a measure violates the bill's prohibitions by demonstrating, through clear and convincing evidence, that the measure significantly advances access to contraception and cannot be achieved through less restrictive means. The Department of Justice, individuals, or health care providers may bring a lawsuit to enforce this bill, and states are not immune from suits for violations.

Subjects: Civil actions and liability, Family planning and birth control, Federal preemption, Health care coverage and access, Health personnel, Sex and reproductive health, Women's health
