Garbarino Votes Against Protecting Access to Contraception

Today, House Democrats passed the Right to Contraception Act to enshrine women’s and families’ right to access contraception into federal law – Andrew Garbarino voted no. This legislation comes in response to the Supreme Court’s threat to revisit settled law like Griswold v. Connecticut, following the Republican-stacked Court’s decision to overturn 50 years of precedent and rip away the right for women to access reproductive health care.

As a reminder, Garbarino has also:

  • Twice voted against the Woman’s Health and Protection Act, which would protect a woman’s right to abortion.

  • Voted against the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act, which would safeguard a woman’s right to travel to another state to receive an abortion if their state bans the medical procedure. This bill would stop states from putting a bounty on the heads of women, families and doctors who assist in obtaining the abortion.

DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:

“Garbarino’s vote against protecting access to contraception shows that he thinks New Yorkers’ long-held rights are up for re-negotiation. Voters will hold Garbarino accountable and will reject him this November to stop Republicans from implementing their goal of a nationwide abortion ban.”
