HCONRES 53 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing support for the recognition of September 26, 2025, as "World Contraception Day" and expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding global and domestic access to contraception.

HCONRES 53 is a symbolic resolution expressing the House of Representatives' support for recognizing September 26, 2025, as "World Contraception Day" and outlining policy principles for improving contraception access. It calls for expanding universal, affordable access to contraception - including over-the-counter options - and addressing disparities affecting Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized communities facing barriers like "contraceptive deserts" and discrimination. The resolution urges federal action to support comprehensive sex education, eliminate insurance cost-sharing for contraception, train healthcare providers on contraceptive care, and fund programs like Title X. It does not create new laws but affirms congressional support for policies that ensure reproductive autonomy and reduce preventable health issues linked to limited access.
