## Summary

**expand access to free or affordable contraception** and align U.S. policy with a rights‑based public health approach by urging federal leaders to remove barriers, expand options, and address inequities in contraception access. - Would press for free or low‑cost contraceptives and over‑the‑counter options while affirming individuals' autonomy to decide timing and spacing of children and to receive medically accurate information. It also highlights racial, geographic, socioeconomic, disability, immigration status, and gender identity disparities and the need to confront past coercion and sterilization harms. - Would encourage expanded training for primary care clinicians in reversible contraceptive methods, stronger patient‑centered counseling, and broader, gender‑inclusive sex education to improve access and informed choice. - Would urge that federal programs and foreign assistance support contraception and quality postabortion care, naming Title X, Medicaid, the Indian Health Service, tribal 638 clinics, TRICARE, federal providers, and USAID’s Office of Population and Reproductive Health, and it calls for studying contraception deserts and other policy solutions.
