U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin has announced that she is reintroducing the Right to Contraception Act.
The legislation aims to create a statutory right to obtain and use contraceptives and ensure health care providers have a right to provide contraceptives, contraception, and share information about this essential care.
Senator Baldwin said, “Women in Wisconsin have been clear about what they want: the right to make their own health care decisions without interference from politicians.”
In July 2022, the Right to Contraception Act passed the House (220-195).
That same month, Republicans blocked an attempt in the U.S. Senate to pass the bill by unanimous consent.
They did the same in June 2023.
In June 2024, Republicans blocked Senate Democrats’ attempt to pass the bill on the floor.
