The United States senate is considering democrat-sponsored S. 4381, the “Right to Contraception Act” this week. This is a deceptive bill that leads citizens to believe that their “rights” to contraception are in jeopardy, which is false…but that’s never stopped the democrats.
This legislation could represent a federal overreach into the state's capacity to safeguard the rights of women, children, and constitutional freedoms.
The bill’s definition of CONTRACEPTION is extremely broad:
The term “contraception” means an action taken to prevent pregnancy, including the use of contraceptives or fertility-awareness-based methods and sterilization procedures. (*chemical castration??)
This broad definition could, and likely would, create a “right” for children to have access to puberty-blocking drugs and cross-sex hormones and potentially even so-called “gender affirming” (mutilation) surgeries.
The bill will for sure include a “right” to a chemical abortion, making these drugs available to minor children over the counter and no doubt, expanding the availability of mail order abortion drugs.
Kristen Waggoner, President of Alliance Defending Freedom stated:
The bill’s requirement to allow access and use “free from coercion” could unleash gov’t censorship & punishment on pregnancy resource centers & doctors seeking to encourage women to choose life. Teachers providing abstinence-only ed. are also at risk
Democrats are never short on fear mongering, but it always seems especially strong during an election year. The democrat sponsors of the bill released a statement today that declared contraception is “under attack:”
Dangerous and extreme abortion bans are putting women’s health and lives at risk and disrupting access to critical health care services, including contraception, as health care providers are forced to close in states across the country. Contraception is also under attack. Officials in some states have made clear they want to ban or restrict birth control in addition to abortion, and Republicans in Congress have attacked contraception access nationwide by proposing to defund the Title X Family Planning Program. Attacks on contraception are an affront to women’s dignity and their ability to make their own decisions about their lives.
