Series 6 Posts: Intro on Birth Control

We're starting the new year by dedicating an entire series to birth control. We were inspired to learn more about birth control since the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has only made it harder for women to access contraception.🥼

At the same time we also noticed a recent rise of telemedicine and birth control delivery services. 📬 Not to mention the political discussions around contraception including the Supreme Court decision in July of 2020 that upheld rules allowing companies to deny birth control coverage.
