"In no way, shape, or form is access to contraception limited or at risk of being limited." So said Representative Kat Cammack (R-Fla.), co-chair of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, on the floor of the U.S. House on July 21, 2022.

Variations on these claims were made by a series of Republicans on the House floor on July 21, during debate on a bill that would add a right to contraception to federal law. Democrats advanced the bill as a way to ensure the availability of birth control before some abortion opponents have a chance to see whether the Supreme Court will overturn that right, too.
