Casey: “Once again, Republican politicians are showing that they are too extreme and cannot be trusted when it comes to women’s reproductive health.”

Washington, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) released the following statement on the failed Senate vote on the Right to Contraception Act. Following the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, several states have restricted access to some forms of contraception. The Right to Contraception Act would protect and guarantee the right for people to obtain and use contraception nationwide.   

“Since the fall of Roe, women’s reproductive rights have been under attack, including access to contraception and IVF. The need for this bill is not hypothetical. Women around the Nation deserve to know that their right to access birth control cannot be ripped away by the whims of state legislators. Once again, Republican politicians are showing that they are too extreme and cannot be trusted when it comes to women’s reproductive health.”
