Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed 16 bills that will expand reproductive freedom in the state, including a bill that allows pharmacists to directly prescribe and dispense contraceptives to patients. These efforts follow an announcement by the Department of Health and Human Services that the state continues to offer free contraception supplies through the Take Control of Your Birth Control program and has shipped 34,300 doses of emergency contraceptive, 34,300 doses of oral birth control pills and 171,500 condoms to date.
