There should be easy access to affordable contraception to women? Can't we agree on that?
Evidence
The press release says Rep. Ashley Hinson reintroduced two bills to ensure women 18 and up can access over-the-counter birth control and improve options in rural areas; it lists Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks as an original cosponsor of both the Allowing Greater Access to Safe and Effective Contraception Act and the Access to LARCs Act.
The release says Hinson introduced the Allowing Greater Access to Safe and Effective Contraception Act to expand over-the-counter access to oral contraceptives for adult women, and it names Miller-Meeks as an original cosponsor; it states the bill would enable women 18 and up to access FDA-approved birth control pills over the counter and require FDA priority review.
Assessments
Miller-Meeks supported the promised policy direction by serving as an original cosponsor of federal bills aimed at expanding over-the-counter contraception access for adult women and improving access to long-acting reversible contraceptives, including reintroduced legislation in 2026. However, the evidence shows legislative effort rather than an enacted federal outcome. Because the promised result was easy access to affordable contraception, and the cited bills had not become law or otherwise delivered the access expansion, this is best scored as a serious attempt that did not fulfill the promise.
