Rep. Anthony Gonzalez, a moderate Ohio Republican, helped push forward a bill to protect access to birth control
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The U.S. House of Representatives voted to ensure access to contraception Thursday afternoon, with all but one Republican U.S. representative from Ohio voting against it.
The act would also create the right for health care providers to provide contraception and information on it. The Department of Justice, providers and individuals have the right to take legal action if they feel their rights have been violated. The Supreme Court's Griswold v. Connecticut decision protects the liberty to buy and use contraceptives without government involvement.
For example, Ohio is considering numerous abortion bills which would state life begins at conception. With this definition, physicians, advocates and consumers are concerned their birth control method would be illegal. Currently, Ohio's six-week abortion ban specifically states the bill doesn’t prohibit contraception or birth control.
