Supporting expectant mothers through more funding for adoption programs, making birth control more accessible and affordable
Make birth control more accessible and affordable.
Occurrences
Evidence
The page says Lawler "will work to ensure that contraception remains accessible to New Yorkers."
Lawler says his focus is "protecting access to care" and "lowering costs," and his reproductive-health list includes the IVF Access and Affordability Act and Access to Family Building Act.
Assessments
Lawler has publicly committed to keeping contraception accessible and has done related work on healthcare affordability and reproductive-health issues while in office. But the available evidence does not show that he enacted or materially delivered a specific federal change that made birth control itself more accessible or affordable. In federal-office context, that supports partial credit for advocacy and related legislative activity, not full delivery of the promised outcome.
