Bill Introduced to Lower Campus Birth Control Prices

by Michelle J. Nealy , November 8, 2007

Categories:

“If Congress does not fix this problem, the cost of contraceptives will continue to rise, unintended pregnancies — especially on college —will continue to rise, and more abortions will be the result,” said Ryan of Ohio.

Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, applauded Crowley’s efforts saying, “The bill is win-win. Access to affordable birth control is something Democrats and Republicans do agree on. It is mainstream, prevention, pro-women’s health legislation.”
