A member asked:
What percentage of women get pregnant because they can't afford birth control? is this common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Somewhat common: Unfortunately, Birth control is expensive. Some women do get pregnant because they can't afford it. This is unnecessary because you can get it for free at the health department and planned parenthood. Sometimes the problem is lack of transportation or knowledge of where to get it for free. Best wishes!
