"We advocate for unfettered access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare."

"Abortion is health care."

Democrats "trust women to make decisions about their own body."

"A woman's right to access safe abortion is a non-negotiable human right."

"Abortion should be legal and safe, with the caveat that I support the Hyde Amendment."

"I believe a decision to abort a child should be up to the women during the first three months of life."

"What we wanted to do is get it [abortion legislation] back to the states."

"I am pro-life. I wanna save as many babies as possible."

Where Do Candidates Stand on Abortion?

US Pres. Joe Biden's administration is proposing a new rule that would require health insurance companies to cover over-the-counter (OTC) birth control at no cost, including the morning-after pill, spermicides, and condoms.

The New York Times

While the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires prescribed pills and some prescribed condoms to be covered, women currently pay upwards of $50 for a pack of morning-after pills and $20 per month for the recently approved OTC Opill.

The rule, which would take effect in 2025 if codified, would also force insurance companies to cover Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved drugs, including IUDs, without patients having to share the cost.
