Description

Contraception is basic preventive health care for women—a simple truth that is too often lost in our political discourse. This video puts key facts front and center: Proper timing and spacing of births leads to healthier pregnancies; contraception, when used consistently, is highly effective; and cost can be a barrier to a woman using the contraceptive method that's right for her. This video was created by the Guttmacher Institute, a leading research and policy organization on sexual and reproductive health. Full transcript available: http://www.guttmacher.org/media/video/contraceptive-use-US-transcript.html. COMMENT POLICY: Comments reflecting the spectrum of opinion are welcomed.
