Introducing State of Access, a New Scorecard for Contraceptive Policy Across the U.S.

Introducing State of Access, a New Scorecard for Contraceptive Policy Across the U.S.

Please join us as we launch State of Access, our new scorecard evaluating state-level policies affecting contraceptive access across the U.S. This interactive tool provides a clear, state-by-state view of where and why barriers to access exist—and how they vary across policy landscapes. We’ll begin with a walkthrough of the scorecard and highlight key insights, followed by a panel discussion with experts from across the country. Panelists will offer their perspectives on the scorecard, discuss how it can inform strategy and shape messaging, and explore how it can inspire future work across sectors. Whether you’re working to shift policy, evaluate impact, or build local coalitions, the scorecard offers a valuable reference point—bringing together key policy data in one accessible tool to support action and insight.
