This concurrent resolution supports recognizing September 26, 2026, as "World Contraception Day." It states the sense of Congress that Congress and the administration should take steps to give all people free or affordable access to contraception, including insurance coverage without cost sharing and expanded access to over-the-counter birth control. It also calls for expanded sex education, provider training, study of areas without contraceptive services, and U.S. foreign aid that supports contraception and abortion services. The resolution expresses views and does not by itself create new laws or spending.
