For over a decade, most American women have been able to access birth control and other preventive health services at no cost due to the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

Project 2025—a 900-page plan put together by the Trump-aligned, right-wing Heritage Foundation—wants to change that by excluding certain forms of emergency contraception—like Plan B and other forms of the morning-after pill—from no-cost coverage.

The ACA requires that most private health insurance plans provide no-cost coverage for recommended preventative services, without coinsurance, copayment, or deductible. This provision includes every form of birth control approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)–including Plan B and other forms of emergency contraception.

According to a new analysis from the Center for American Progress (CAP), if Project 2025 is put into effect, 48 million American women could lose their guaranteed no-cost access to emergency contraception.

In Virginia, specifically, 1.3 million women of reproductive age–or those ages 15-49–could lose guaranteed no-cost emergency contraception coverage.

If this were to happen, these women wouldn’t have access to that contraception when they need it. According to a new national survey conducted by the US Census Bureau, nearly one-quarter of reproductive-age women who have ever had sex with a man report having used emergency contraception at some point so far in their lives.
