Access to contraception, a family-focused tool, ultimately leads to a more prosperous Idaho

Idaho Capital Sun

Contraception can be one of the greatest tools for safely, affordably and effectively growing a family.

When we collectively talk about birth control, the conversation is often about pregnancy prevention, but what is missed is the nuance that contraception improves health and economic outcomes for families and even supports their growth. Access to birth control gives individuals and couples the power to choose when and how to have children leading to better outcomes in their health, economic stability, and ultimately leads to a more prosperous Idaho.

And when people feel more confident and in control, they’re often more willing to build their families to the size they want and work toward the necessary means to support them.

We have been, and will always be, advocates for Idaho families. As board members of the Idaho Contraceptive Education Network, we are committed to facilitating healthy, respectful dialogue about the many ways birth control can support families at every stage.
