Today is Eisenstadt v. Baird Decision Day. On this day in 1972, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision establishing that unmarried couples have the fundamental right to access contraception, AKA birth control. With this decision, the Supreme Court affirmed that access to contraception is a fundamental right for all people. At AccessMatters, we continue to fight for the right for all people to access the contraceptives of their choice.
