This week, the CDC removed several web pages and databases from their website for various public health topics, including contraception. So, after buying reproductiverightsdotgov.com last week, we’re back with another new site: We bought cdcdotgovcontraception.com to ensure women and health care providers have access to critical contraception content. It will redirect you to theSkimm, where you can access the content that was taken down and the preserved documents referenced in the archived CDC contraception information.

At theSkimm, we believe women deserve to have access to safe, accurate, and timely information in order to make decisions that are right for them — regardless of political changes. Which is why, when reproductiverights.gov went offline, we purchased reproductiverightsdotgov.com. It's a site from us where you can access the content that was taken down, as well as critical information about your reproductive rights. Thinking we wouldn't help women stay informed? Now that's a 404 error.
