As a debate over women's contraceptive rights rages on, about one in three women believe there is a "wide-scale effort to limit women's reproductive health choices and services" and many have taken action because of it, a new poll finds.
The Kaiser Family Foundation's May tracking poll, released Thursday, finds that 42 percent of women say they took some sort of action in the past six months on the issue, whether it has been donating money, trying to influence a friend's opinion or contacting an elected official.
This has been spurred by the recent debate over the Obama administration's decision to implement a mandate requiring all health plans cover birth control, as well as state and federal disputes over public funding for Planned Parenthood.
