  • Most policies that increased contraceptive access were related to the Affordable Care Act, which improved affordability, while policies associated with Title X reduced the availability and appropriateness of care, often correlating with partisan shifts.
  • The research identifies specific barriers created by policy changes and suggests actions to improve contraceptive access, emphasizing the importance of considering different dimensions of healthcare access like acceptability and accommodation.

@LewaLew12 @CountryChud @hereliesthighs Dumb horny teenagers are not taught how to use them. In addition, in many states access to contraceptives is not great, having created barries to accessing it for the ones the most likely to not be able to care for a child, namely poor people. https://t.co/ntJk9wZWYJ

@secularprolife Abortion bans clearly don't change contraceptive use by themselves. It's not about individual risk tolerance. It's public policy. Stop interfering with contraceptive access Expand access Make it free https://t.co/jmHSBX1RPv https://t.co/dukaxHn0b1 https://t.co/PrzhbH1QHl
