Tell Congress to Support the Compassionate Care for Servicewomen Act!

The Issue

To get Congress to re-introduce H.R. 2064, the Compassionate Care for Servicewomen Act, which was introduced to Congress in 2007, and would have ensured that women in uniform could access emergency contraception, or Plan B, at any Military Treatment Facility as part of the TRICARE Formulary. This bill died in Committee, and this petition is to urge Congress to re-introduce this bill to hopefully get it off the ground and get better access to birth control for our women in uniform.
