  • A post shared on Threads claims House Resolution 7 will require women to get permission to obtain birth control and abortions. View on Threads Verdict: False The claim is false. House Resolution 7 does not include any language indicating it will require women to get permission to obtain birth control and abortions.

The article from MSN discusses a viral claim on social media suggesting that House Resolution 7 (H.R. 7), also known as the "Parents Bill of Rights Act," would require women to obtain permission for birth control or abortions. This claim has been debunked as misleading. H.R. 7, introduced by Rep. Julia Letlow, focuses on enhancing parental rights in education, requiring schools to provide parents with access to educational materials, information about school safety, and the right to be heard in educational decisions affecting their children. It does not mention or legislate on women's reproductive rights like birth control or abortion. The confusion likely stems from unrelated amendments or bills that were not part of H.R. 7. The bill passed the House but has not been enacted into law, and its primary focus remains on educational transparency and parental involvement, not on reproductive rights.
