TED: Why is it so hard to get effective birth control in the US? | Mark Edwards

The video discusses the challenges faced by women like Sophia, who experience unplanned pregnancies despite using birth control. It highlights the lack of education and access to effective contraceptive methods in the US, where nearly half of all pregnancies are unplanned. The nonprofit Upstream works to improve access to a full range of contraceptive options by training healthcare providers. The video emphasizes the importance of patient-centered care and the positive impact of improved access, as demonstrated by significant reductions in unplanned pregnancies and related outcomes in Delaware.
