In a powerful new ad running statewide on OTT, Ann, a Virginia mom of twins, calls on Governor Glenn Youngkin to sign the Right to Contraception Act, which passed both chambers of the General Assembly and currently awaits his signature. 

The landmark legislation, which is patroned by Senator Ghazala Hashmi (D-Chesterfield) and Delegate Marcia “Cia” Price (D-Newport News), would codify the right to contraception in Virginia – including the right to use condoms, the pill, and IUDs. 

The Americans for Contraception ad, aimed at raising awareness and rallying public support, highlights the critical importance of protecting personal freedoms and ensuring access to contraception for all Virginians.

Speaking from her experience and concern as a parent, Ann shares her support for the legislation and the difference it can make in Virginians’ lives.

“As a parent, you worry about your child’s future. That’s why I was glad to see the Virginia legislature pass the Right to Contraception Act,” she says in the advertisement, underscoring the bipartisan backing for contraceptive access.

The ad then calls on Governor Youngkin to demonstrate his commitment to Virginia’s health and freedom by signing the bill. “Tell Governor Youngkin it’s time to break with his party and do the right thing,” implores Ann, highlighting the urgent need for leadership to protect reproductive freedoms.

Recent polling shows that Right to Contraception legislation is supported by eight out of ten voters, including Democrats (94%), Independents (76%), and Republicans (68%). It resonates equally with various genders, ages, and racial groups.

Americans for Contraception is also running a digital ad calling on Governor Youngkin to sign the bill. The ads began March 10.
