HCONRES 68 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing support for the recognition of September 26, 2023, as "World Contraception Day" and expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding global and domestic access to contraception.

HCONRES 68 is a symbolic resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for recognizing September 26, 2023, as "World Contraception Day." It states the House's "sense" that Congress and the Administration should work to improve universal, affordable access to contraception for all people who may become pregnant, both domestically and globally. The resolution calls for evidence-based policies to address disparities in access, expand comprehensive sex education, and support programs like Title X family planning services, without creating new laws or funding. It directly affects all individuals seeking reproductive health care, particularly those facing barriers due to race, income, location, or gender identity. The resolution does not mandate action but outlines policy priorities for future consideration.
