The new year is a good time to reevaluate your birth control method to see if it's still the method for you.

A method that worked for you last year, might not be the method for you this year! #ThxBirthControl https://t.co/gBq7YJLk1G

"While the United States remains a leading donor in #FamilyPlanning, this stagnation in funding represents more than a decade’s worth of missed opportunities to support growing #contraceptive needs globally."
