Birth control medication is not controversial, and it is often used for numerous health reasons other than preventing pregnancy. Letting employers get in between women and their doctors when making decisions about contraception is a step in the wrong direction, and I will not stand for these political attacks on women\u2019s health.\u201d\n  BACKGROUND: \u00a0Congresswoman Rosen is a co-sponsor of the Protect Access to Birth Control Act (H.R. 4082), which was introduced last week to block the President\u2019s recent unilateral actions and safeguard women\u2019s access to birth control. The two interim final rules issued this month by the Trump Administration would allow nearly any employer to be exempt from the requirement to cover birth control and other forms of contraception without cost-sharing. The Protect Access to Birth Control Act would treat these rules as though they had never taken effect, thereby securing the right to birth control coverage as guaranteed by the Affordable Care Act. Companion legislation was introduced in the Senate by Senators Patty Murray (D-WA) and Bob Casey (D-PA).\n\u00a0\nView full text of the legislation here.\n\u00a0\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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://rosen.house.gov/media/press-releases/rosen-sends-letter-denouncing-trump-administration-s-contraception-rules-co"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.9544740207493305, "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"}
