Read the full memo from Bellwether here (download PDF).

• Strong bipartisan support for strengthening access to contraception.

• Only 3% of voters want policymakers to make it harder to access contraception.

• Voters reject targeting emergency contraception, IUDs & fertility treatments for reduced access based on personal/religious views.

• Voters in favor of a second type of over-the-counter birth control pill and expanding insurance benefits for OTC contraception products.

A bipartisan majority of voters strongly support increased access to contraception in the United States, according to a new poll conducted by CAI and Bellwether Research in December 2024. This includes support for proactive state and federal legislation and expanding no-cost insurance coverage for over-the-counter contraception.

“This poll clearly demonstrates a mandate for policymakers across party divides to embrace measures that will help people access the birth control that is right for them.”

— Dana Singiser, co-founder of the Contraceptive Access Initiative

“This poll is a refreshing reminder of the deep support for ensuring that all people who are seeking contraception have the opportunity to choose the method that is right for them.

— Dr. Raegan McDonald-Moseley, CEO of Power to Decide and chief medical officer for the Contraceptive Access Initiative
