The Problem

Many anti-choice activists oppose birth control just as much as they oppose abortion.

• They work to block women's access to birth control at pharmacies and hospitals.
• They lie about birth control to perpetuate a myth that it causes an abortion. Birth control is not abortion.

Our Solution

There are many ways to make sure that women get the birth control they need.Better access means fewer unintended pregnancies.

• Emergency contraception (EC) can prevent pregnancy if used up to five days after sex.
• Pharmacies should not be able to refuse to fill a woman's prescription for birth control.
• The government should make sure that low-income women can afford birth control at family-planning clinics.
• If an insurance company covers prescription drugs, it should cover prescription birth control, too.
