Governor Josh Shapiro has taken direct action to defend and expand reproductive freedom in Pennsylvania, focusing on improving access to reproductive healthcare and safeguarding women’s rights to make their own healthcare decisions.
Governor Josh Shapiro urged health insurers to cover over-the-counter contraceptives, including the newly approved birth control pill Opill. This initiative significantly enhances access to contraception by removing financial barriers and simplifying the process for obtaining birth control, which can save women up to $250 annually.
When Pennsylvanians chose me as their Governor, they made clear that they support a woman’s freedom to choose. Since taking office, I’ve unequivocally supported that freedom and the right to access a full scope of reproductive health care, including over-the-counter birth control.
