On Friday, the Trump administration took direct aim at birth control coverage for 62 million women, eliminating the guarantee for birth control coverage at no co-pay under the ACA. This is an attack on basic health care that the vast majority of women rely on.
Nearly nine in 10 women of reproductive age will use contraception at some point in their lives, whether for family planning or other medical reasons like treating endometriosis. Birth control should be treated like any other preventive medical care. It’s unbelievable that, in 2017, there’s still a fight about whether women should have access to birth control or other preventive services.
