Nearly half
of all pregnancies
are unplanned.
In Colorado we achieved remarkable success preventing unintended pregnancy by removing barriers to birth control services and methods:
51% reduction in teen birth and abortion rates,
60% decline in repeat teen pregnancies,
25% drop in births among 20-24 year-olds &
$60M+ in averted public costs.
NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO LOSE GROUND!
