“Every $1.00 invested in helping women avoid pregnancies they did not want to have saved $7.09 in Medicaid expenditures that would otherwise have been needed to pay for medical costs of pregnancy, delivery, and early child care.” -Guttmacher Institute
Even with policies like Title X from the Public Health Service Act in place, there are still thousands of women with inadequate access to a full range of contraceptive methods.
“Out of the 38,265,700 women aged 13-44 living in the US, 19,765,530 of them live in contraceptive deserts” where there is less than one public clinic to every 1000 people. -National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy
