“The potential benefits here are enormous and have been documented through decades of research and data on the benefits of birth control access for all. Health care providers and major medical organizations have voiced their support for over-the-counter birth control pills for people of all ages. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists supports over-the-counter access to hormonal contraception without age restrictions, and medical organizations such as the American Academy of Family Physicians support making birth control pills available over the counter as safe, effective, and beneficial to overall health and well-being. The public support reflects the benefits of access as well: seventy percent of women of reproductive age are in favor of making birth control available over the counter without a prescription.”
