RIDDLE: There’s lots of research that shows the majority of people think contraception should be legal and accessible. This study reinforces that. Kimi Chernoby is with the National Women’s Law Center.
KIMI CHERNOBY: It’s not often that we get such clear data about the effects of a policy change.
RIDDLE: The Trump administration has moved recently to restrict access to birth control through things like cuts to Medicaid and Title X. That’s a publicly funded program that supplies contraception to low-income people.
CHERNOBY: With the government either restricting access to birth control or restricting insurance coverage or funding for birth control, it becomes more and more important for people to be able to access birth control on their own.
