The study by Washington University in St. Louis found the reduction in abortion rates to be 62 percent to 78 percent over the national rate.

If the program were expanded, one abortion could be prevented for every 79 to 137 women given a free contraceptive choice, the Associated Press reported.

“The impact of providing no-cost birth control was far greater than we expected in terms of unintended pregnancies,”

It’s just an amazing improvement," Dr. James T. Breeden, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, told the Associated Press. "I would think if you were against abortions, you would be 100 percent for contraception access."

1. "I would think if you were against abortions, you would be 100 percent for contraception access."

That is like saying that good sex education would help stop unwanted pregnancies

Too bad the republicans believe in the Nancy Raygun plan
'Just say no' and everything will work out

2. Does Medicaid pay for birth control pills?

BCP is now covered by ins. Our ins. charges $20 for generic prescriptions.
