Background: Senate Bill 19 would recognize that individuals have the right to engage in contraception and that health care providers have the right to both dispense contraceptive devices and provide information about their use.
Our Position: We support Senate Bill 19. Under existing Alabama law, there is no explicit recognition of the right to distribute and use contraceptives. This bill helps solidify the rights of Alabamians who believe in addressing their health between themselves and their health practicioner.
