On January 4, 2007, the first day of the 110th Congress, Senate
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) introduced the Prevention First Act
(S. 21), a package of legislation that seeks to prevent unintended
pregnancy and increase access to comprehensive contraceptive services
and information. The early introduction of the legislation
underscores that prevention is a policy priority for the Democratic
leadership. The legislation is supported by a broad array of Senators
including the anti-choice Senator Reid as well as pro-choice Senator
Edward Kennedy (D-MA) and presidential hopefuls, Senators Hillary
Clinton (D-NY) and Barak Obama (D-IL). The legislation was also
introduced on February 5, 2007 in the House of Representatives by
Representatives Louise Slaughter (D-NY) and Diana DeGette (D-CO) with
over 100 cosponsors (H.R. 819). The Prevention First Act aims to
improve women's health by empowering women through increased access to
family planning services and education, thereby reducing the rate of
unintended pregnancy, preventing the transmission of sexually
transmitted diseases (STDs), and reducing the need for abortion. The
Prevention First Act combines eight separate bills.
