Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez proposes free, over-the-counter birth control; eased restrictions on MDMA and other drugs
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for easier access to birth control. The first-term congresswoman from New York suggested women shouldn't have to pay top dollar for prescriptions — or at all for that matter.
Under the U.K.'s National Health Service, women are able to receive contraception, including three varieties of birth control pills, without having to pay for it. Access to contraceptives is openly available at community contraception clinics throughout the country in addition to sexual health clinics. Doctors, of course, are also able to give them out for free to patients.
Schedule I drugs — which also includes heroin and cocaine — are categorized as having no accepted medical use. However, medical research has continued to explore the possible benefits of some Schedule I drugs like marijuana, psilocybin and MDMA.
