Contraceptives have a proven track record of enhancing the health of women and children, preventing unintended pregnancy, and reducing the need for abortion.

The truth is women use contraception not only as a way to prevent unintended pregnancies, but also to improve their health and the health of their families. Increased access to contraception is directly linked to declines in maternal and infant mortality.

Birth-control is effecting, and promising to effect, many functions in our social life.

For most women, including women who want to have children, contraception is not an option; it is a basic health care necessity.

If they are opposed to abortion, they should be for preventing unintended pregnancies.

I'm pro responsible choice. You know, there is choice to abstain, choice to do contraception. There are all kinds of good choices.

Contraceptive protection is something every woman must have access to, to control her own destiny.

It is essential that the women's preventive coverage benefit, including contraception, be available to all women, regardless of what health plan they have or where they work - as Congress intended. Providing access to birth control just makes good sense.

We have access to practical, ethical and scientifically established methods of birth control. So I think that is the most ethical way to reduce our population.

I have four kids. They are two years apart, and contraception has been very, very good to me.
