U.S. Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-NY-19) announced today that he will cosponsor the Right to Contraception Act, becoming the first Republican to endorse the bill in the House. Companion legislation has been introduced in the Senate and is being brought up for a vote by U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
The bill aims to enshrine the right to contraception into federal law, preventing any court or state legislature from restricting access. Earlier this year, Rep. Molinaro also became the first Republican to support a bill protecting IVF.
Rep. Molinaro stated, "I've rejected a national abortion ban, am fighting to protect IVF and mifepristone, and will fight to protect contraception. We need to do more to support women and the choices they make. This bill is commonsense and a good place to start."
