Heatlth dept: Im sorry to hear about your situation. Usually there is a clinic of some sort that you can go to for free or a ruduced price depending upon your income. Planned parenthood still exists in some cities and free clinics and university hospital clinics usually have access to birth control to help you. The local health dept is usually another good source.
