CAMBRIDGE, MA—Following last week’s leaked Supreme Court draft opinion rolling back abortion rights, access to the full range of reproductive health care—including abortion and birth control—is crucial. Over-the-counter (OTC) birth control pills provide one way to expand access during this time.

CAMBRIDGE, MA—Today, ahead of Free the Pill Day on May 9, a coalition of more than 100 national, state, and local reproductive health, rights, and justice organizations, researchers, and health care providers are celebrating their commitment to moving birth control pills over the counter in the United States. On the third annual Free the Pill Day, the coalition is calling for over-the-counter birth control pills that are backed by science, fully covered by insurance, affordable, and available to people of all ages.
