AOC and Ayanna Pressley want birth control to be over-the-counter
Democratic Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley want people to be able to access birth control easily and affordably ― and are pushing new legislation to do it.
“It is a brutal form of oppression to seize control of the one essential thing a person should command: their own body,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a release. “Women should have the right to own and control their own bodies.” Earlier this week, Republican Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted at Ocasio-Cortez that they should “team up” on efforts to make birth control over-the-counter.
