For the 2nd year in a row, bills are moving through the General Assembly to protect Virginians’ right to contraception. This is important at a state level because in a concurring opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, Justice Clarence Thomas said that the Supreme Court should reconsider opinions protecting same-sex relationships, marriage equality and access to contraceptives. In 2024, the bill passed the Virginia General Assembly with bipartisan support, but was vetoed by Governor Glenn Youngkin (R).
