As residents of the UK, it’s easy for us to take free birth control for granted.

Thanks to the NHS, we can cherry pick the best contraceptive method for our bodies from a whole range of options, including the pill, the coil and the implant, under the guidance of free medical advice. Whatever we choose is then provided to us free of charge, alongside any checkups or follow up appointments we might opt to have.

There is no financial burden involved, and we never have to worry about the stress of saving up hundreds of pounds to replace our coil or replenish our pills.

So take a moment to consider women living in America, who face a very different reality when it comes to securing birth control – and who might soon find their access to these essential products blocked even further.

If the regulation is approved, employers could begin pulling birth control coverage from their health insurance packages, forcing women to pay out of pocket to obtain their contraception.
