Connecticut, Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) signed a discharge petition to force a vote on the Right to Contraception Act in the House, which would codify and strengthen the right for individuals to access contraception.\n\n\u201cWomen have a right to the full range of reproductive health care, including abortion and contraception, and it\u2019s clear that the far right will not stop at the Dobbs decision to turn back the clock on women's rights,\u201d said Congressman Pappas. \u201cAs radical politicians and judges seek to block access for reproductive health care, I\u2019m fighting to pass legislation to protect access to birth control and reproductive health care for all Americans. I remain committed to ensuring individuals can make their own private health care decisions and restoring the right to safe and legal abortion.\u201d\n\nPappas is a co-sponsor of the Protecting Reproductive Freedom Act, which reaffirms the FDA\u2019s authority to approve medication abortion and safeguards health care providers\u2019 ability to prescribe medication abortion via telehealth. Last year, prior to FDA v. Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine reaching the Supreme Court,Pappas joined a bicameral amicus brief urging the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit to block the ruling.\n\nPappas has fought to pass theWomen\u2019s Health Protection Act, which would enshrine into law vital protections previously guaranteed by Roe v. Wade and restore the right to reproductive care for everyone across America, and signed adischarge petition to bring the legislation to the House floor for a vote in the 118th Congress.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:11:47Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://pappas.house.gov/media/press-releases/pappas-pushes-for-vote-on-legislation-to-secure-access-to-contraception-for-granite-state-women"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9166928939521313, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
