About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · September 26, 2025
Referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce, and in addition to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.Con.Res. 53 is a nonbinding congressional resolution expressing support for World Contraception Day on September 26, 2025, and calling on Congress and the Trump administration to expand access to contraception both domestically and globally. The resolution urges increased funding and policy changes to ensure universal, affordable access to all forms of contraception, including over-the-counter options, and highlights existing disparities in reproductive health access based on race, income, geography, and other factors. It specifically recommends studying "contraceptive deserts" where millions of Americans lack reasonable access to family planning services, expanding provider training in contraceptive methods, and removing state and federal barriers to access including restrictions on emergency contraception. The resolution also calls for comprehensive sex education, insurance coverage for contraception, and ending coercive practices that have historically targeted communities of color, Native Americans, and other marginalized groups. Since this is a concurrent resolution rather than legislation, it carries no binding legal force or direct funding, but instead signals congressional intent and policy priorities.
