A cynical ploy to claim they #StandWithWomen. The over-the-counter proposal, also embraced by candidates Ed Gillespie in Virginia and Mike McFadden in Minnesota, would make it easier for women to buy birth control pills without having to see a doctor. But it would jeopardize insurance coverage of birth control, and it would not increase access to costlier, long-acting methods of contraception, such as the intrauterine device. If Cory Gardner and others were serious about expanding access to birth control, they wouldn’t be trying to repeal the no-copay birth control benefit, reduce Title X funding for birth control, or cut women off from Planned Parenthood’s preventive health services.
