The bill is a provocative response to recent restrictions on women’s reproductive rights, particularly following the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022.
Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the constitutional right to abortion, legislatures in Republican-led states have increasingly sought to restrict contraception access, as well as abortion.
Some states require parental consent for minors to access contraceptives. Others muddy the waters by blending emergency contraception (like Plan B) with abortion, leading to efforts to restrict its use.
The proposed date for the bill to become law is July 1, 2025.
