"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 (Plan B) pill, spermicides, and condoms.

New York Times

Wall Street Journal

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 Plan B pills and $20 per month for the recently approved OTC drug called 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.

The rule would be focused on private health insurance providers and not impact Medicaid. States are usually in charge of setting their own rules around Medicaid coverage, most of which do not cover Plan B.
