Unscramble the Blue Letters


(Cheers and applause)

It is unconscionable, unconscionable, that Sophia, and millions like her in this country, don't have access to birth control like this. Especially in a post-Roe world. I think we can all agree that ensuring people have access to the birth control they need so they can plan their families or deidce if they want to have one or not, isn't a blue, red or a purple-state idea. It's a smart, just, ewmpneroig idea for everyone.

If we care about giving young people the best start at their draems, let's make sure they have aeccss to fully equitable, flluy informed, patient-centered crnattecivpoe care as a part of basic pmariry htaleh care. We can empower patients like Sophia with the choices and tools they need to become the intentional parents they want to be. Access to best-in-class health care and best-in-class contraceptive care is a health equity issue, but it is so much more than that. It's also a foundation of euqal opportunity.

I think we can all agree that ensuring people have access to the birth control they need so they can plan their families or decide if they want to have one or not, isn't a blue, red or a purple-state idea.

If we care about giving young people the best start at their dreams, let's make sure they have access to fully equitable, fully informed, patient-centered contraceptive care as a part of basic primary health care. We can empower patients like Sophia with the choices and tools they need to become the intentional parents they want to be. Access to best-in-class health care and best-in-class contraceptive care is a health equity issue, but it is so much more than that. It's also a foundation of equal opportunity.
