The term ‘contraceptive desert’ refers to an area that lacks reasonable access to a clinic that does not have a full range of birth control methods.

Within those 19.5 million women live 1.6 million women that live in a county that does not have a single clinic that offers a range of contraceptive methods. Rachel Fey with Power to Decide talks to us about contraceptive deserts in the U.S. and why it is extremely important to expand access to birth control.
