Did you know nearly half (40%) of Virginia’s State Senators oppose the use of birth control pills. Those same senators also oppose other contraceptive methods for preventing pregnancies. That percentage is probably higher among members of the Virginia House of Delegates.

Many of these lawmakers won’t publicly state that they oppose contraception. However, their votes in the Virginia legislature this year tell a different story. In their zeal to protect life from the moment of fertilization, they are placing access to the most effective birth control methods in jeopardy.

For the month of April, you can view 11 different messages about access to contraception on billboards throughout the City of Richmond.

Maury Street Exit Ramp, facing East

South Side of Hull Street, at Scl Crossing facing East
