Very strongly agree

Yes, except for religious organizations and charities that oppose the use of contraception

Johnson, being a pragmatic politician, would likely understand the need for exceptions in certain cases, such as religious organizations and charities. This is in line with his approach to legislation, where he often sought compromise to achieve his goals.

Strongly agree

Yes

Lyndon B. Johnson was a strong advocate for healthcare reform and access, as evidenced by his signing of the Social Security Amendments of 1965 which created Medicare and Medicaid. However, the specific issue of free birth control was not a major topic during his presidency, so while he would likely support the general idea, he might not strongly agree without qualifications.
