Some States Are Making It Easier To Get Birth Control


With the dismantling of the Affordable Care Act, the issues of birth control access and reproductive rights have become increasingly polarized and volatile. Some states are taking it upon themselves to improve access to birth control, without the federal mandate, through policies such as allowing pharmacists to re-prescribe certain types of birth control, and to distribute up to 12 months of birth control at a time, which has been proven in some cases to increase a woman's likelihood to use birth control, as it reduces costs and time for the patient.
