Protect and expand access to contraception

Paul Barringer
House · NC-13 · Democrat
“I believe that we should be doing all that we can to support women, families, and children before and after birth. That means investing in maternal health, expanding family planning and access to contraception, enhancing adoption and foster care systems, and making sure no woman feels like abortion is her only option.”

House · NV-2 · Democrat
“I have been fighting for quality health care for a long time: I voted to create public-option healthcare program, which covers 10,000 people through the Battle Born State Plan; made sure you can’t be charged out of pocket cost for contraception and extended the period of time you can get a prescription for contraception; voted for measures to address Nevada’s high maternal mortality rates; and voted for a package of legislation to create transparency in drug pricing.”

“Reproductive rights are fundamental human rights and they’ve been under attack for decades, and now those attacks are turning into bans. It’s not enough to talk about protecting choice, we need to guarantee it. That means codifying the right to abortion in federal law and protecting access to the full spectrum of reproductive care: from contraception to maternal health to gender-affirming services. No one should have their body, their future, or their freedom controlled by politicians. It’s time we make reproductive freedom a constitutional right.”

“This issue goes beyond abortion, it’s about having access to the resources needed for family planning. Our government should not be interfering with the decisions a woman makes behind closed doors with her doctor and her family.”

“Beyond abortion rights, we must protect all aspects of reproductive healthcare – from protecting and broadening access to contraception, to expanding access to fertility treatments like IVF, to addressing the maternal healthcare deserts in our state – so that every woman has the choice to start or grow their family if and when they want to.”
