Let's Talk Birth Control: Contraception Policy Reform in the States & D.C.
Channel: R Street Institute
Date: 2019-04-01

R Street Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public policy research organization. Our mission is to engage in policy research and outreach to promote free markets and limited, effective government.

We believe free markets work better than the alternatives. We also recognize that the legislative process calls for practical responses to current problems. To that end, our motto is “Free markets. Real solutions.”

We offer research and analysis that advance the goals of a more market-oriented society and an effective, efficient government, with the full realization that progress on the ground tends to be made one inch at a time. In other words, we look for free-market victories on the margin.

The panel will explore various reform efforts aimed at increasing contraception access, including proposals to make birth control available over-the-counter or directly from pharmacists. Join us to learn how numerous states have used occupational licensing reform to deregulate contraception access, and how Republicans and Democrats have found common ground on a controversial issue.
