Op-ed | Expanding birth control access in New York | amNewYork
Briefly

The article discusses the escalating threat to reproductive rights across the U.S., highlighting near-total abortion bans and legal challenges to contraception access in states like Texas and Alabama. It emphasizes the disproportionate impact on marginalized populations, including low-income women and people of color. The author notes that even progressive states like New York face challenges, particularly in allowing pharmacists to prescribe a range of contraceptive methods. While other states have made strides to enhance access, New York's policies are lagging, creating barriers to reproductive healthcare amidst a national rollback of rights.
Reproductive freedom is under attack across the country. Courts are rolling back protections once thought untouchable, while millions are pushed further from the healthcare they need.
In New York, we pride ourselves on being a safe haven for reproductive rights, but we are falling behind due to outdated policies limiting pharmacists' abilities.
