Unplanned Teen PregnanciesStates with the lowest amount of contraceptive education and accessibility are the states that have the highest number of unplanned teen pregnancies.
Accessibility of Contraceptives Some states have
enacted refusal clauses. Healthcare providers
can refuse to give contraceptives.
Publicly funded family planning services. Helped avoid 2 million
unintended pregnancies. Would’ve likely resulted
in1 million unplanned pregnancies and 700,000 abortions.
Education and PregnancyThe rate of teen pregnancies is going up as the rate of sex education that’s being taught is going down.
Educate and Advocate Educate the masses
on birth control/contraceptive. Education leads to a
better understanding and preparation.
Advocate for accessible birth control/contraceptive for all men and women. Accessibility means
less unplanned pregnancies.
