The voices of people with disabilities are often left out of important conversations relating to their bodily autonomy. ALL people should have the dignity and freedom to make decisions regarding their sexual & reproductive lives & futures. #WorldContraceptionDay
According to @powertodecide, more than 19 million women and people who menstruate live in contraception deserts in the U.S. alone. In light of the bans and restrictions across the country, access to EC & contraception is more important than ever. #WorldContraceptionDay2022pic.twitter.com/pqKV5i7RJl
Today, I introduced a resolution expressing support for World Contraception Day.
Contraception isn’t just a part of health care, but a means for people to have control over when they want to start a family. pic.twitter.com/sKniTMtWfh
Everyone should have access to effective and affordable options for sexual and reproductive healthcare—no matter where they live or their circumstances! Find a health center near you ➡️ https://t.co/Zaa1rAjk4N#WCD2022pic.twitter.com/bCgRK8dc9g
All people should have the resources they need to plan their futures, including access to the birth control method of their choice, free from barriers or stigma. That’s why this #WorldContraceptionDay we must #FreeThePill. #ISpeakSexHealth
Barriers to #BirthControl fall harder on people of color and Indigenous peoples, young people, immigrants, LGBTQ+ folks, those working to make ends meet, and people with disabilities. Let’s #FreeThePill and make care more accessible and equitable for ALL. #WorldContraceptionDay💊
Birth control pills have been around for 6️⃣0️⃣+ years. But, barriers to access still exist–barriers rooted in systemic racism and other forms of discrimination + oppression. No more 🙅🏽barriers–everyone should have access to the care they need. #FreeThePill#WorldContraceptionDay

Research shows that requiring a prescription makes it harder to obtain & consistently use birth control pills. Over-the-counter birth control pills would give ppl greater access to the tools they need to take care of their own health!#FreeThePill#WorldContraceptionDay2022pic.twitter.com/GlVWt5erUD
