Free or low-cost birth control is becoming increasingly difficult to get in some states

Summary

Nutrition label

83% Informative

The Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade may not help women already struggling to find affordable contraception in some states with the strictest abortion laws.

Small family planning clinics have to fund the upfront cost of stocking a range of contraceptives, from birth control pills to injections to intrauterine devices, for their patients.

Clinics face paying tens of thousands of dollars to stock birth control without a guarantee of Medicaid , insurance or cash reimbursement.

Medicaid does not always reimburse, and may not reimburse in full.

Private insurers may also not cover IUDs, which can cost as much as $1,300 .

A handful of nonprofits have stepped in to help clinics provide free or low-cost contraceptives.
