I will fight to: Establish a Federal Right to Contraception
Establish a federal right to contraception.
Occurrences
Evidence
"Today, Representative Maggie Goodlander helped introduce the Right to Contraception Act" and said she was "proud to help introduce this legislation today." The release says the bill would "Create a federal right for people to obtain contraceptives" and "Establish a right for health care providers to provide contraceptives and information related to contraception."
Congress.gov lists H.R. 999 as having sponsor Rep. Fletcher and the latest action as "02/05/2025 Referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce." The tracker shows the bill status as "Introduced" and the step list contains only "Introduced."
Assessments
Goodlander materially advanced the promised policy by helping introduce the Right to Contraception Act, which would create a federal right to obtain contraception and protect providers. However, the bill has only been introduced and referred to committee in the 119th Congress; it has not been enacted, so the promised federal right has not yet been established. Because she is still in the same federal term and the legislative vehicle remains short of passage, the status is unresolved rather than delivered or definitively failed.
