Democrats Seek to Codify Chemical Abortions in Contraceptive LegislationPenny Starr 23 Jul 2022
Democrats are inserting the right to chemical abortions into legislation that claims to protect contraceptives in the latest push to codify abortion across the country after the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
Although Planned Parenthood is not specifically named in the bill, it is clear surgical abortion centers will be included in the funding.
Emergency contraception includes abortifacients, which can prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine wall.
The Senate’s “Right to Contraceptive Act” says, in part:
The term ‘‘contraception’’ means an action taken to prevent pregnancy, including the use of contraceptives or fertility-awareness based methods, and sterilization procedures.
The term ‘‘contraceptive’’ means any drug, device, or biological product intended for use in the prevention of pregnancy, whether specifically intended to prevent pregnancy or for other health needs, that is legally marketed under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, such as oral contraceptives, long-acting reversible contraceptives, emergency contraceptives, internal and external condoms, injectables, vaginal barrier methods, transdermal patches, and vaginal rings, or other contraceptives.The bill also targets 12 states that the text says have laws in place to limit access to contraceptives, including Arkansas, Mississippi, Missouri, and Texas.
“Providers’ refusals to offer contraceptives and information related to contraception based on their own personal beliefs impede patients from obtaining their preferred method,” the bill states.
