Support for Recognizing World Contraception Day and Expanding Access to Contraception
This concurrent resolution expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' support for recognizing September 26, 2026, as World Contraception Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about contraception and reproductive health rights worldwide. It highlights the importance of contraception as a fundamental right, referencing key Supreme Court decisions and international agreements that affirm individuals' rights to control the number and spacing of their children. The resolution emphasizes the public health benefits of contraception, including reducing unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions, maternal deaths, and sexually transmitted infections. It also acknowledges existing disparities in access to contraception in the U.S., particularly among racial and ethnic minorities, low-income populations, and LGBTQ+ individuals, and recognizes historical injustices related to coercive reproductive practices.
