Right to Contraception Act

This bill creates legal protections for people's right to access contraception — things like birth control medications, devices, fertility-awareness methods, and sterilization procedures — and for health care providers' right to offer these services and related information. It generally blocks laws or rules that single out and get in the way of access to contraception. Someone challenging the bill's protections would need to prove with strong evidence that their restriction significantly improves the safety of contraception and that there's no less restrictive way to do so. The bill overrides conflicting state, local, and certain federal laws, including the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, and it allows the Department of Justice, individuals, or health care providers to file lawsuits to enforce it.
