What could happen to birth control under President Trump?


Women have many choices when it comes to avoiding pregnancy. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 99% of sexually active women from 2006 to 2010 used at least one contraceptive method at some point. Here's a look at a variety of birth control methods and how they each work. Virtually all sexually active women of reproductive age -- about 99% -- have used at least one contraceptive method in their lifetimes from 2006 to 2010, according to a 2013 National Health Statistics Report from the Department of Health and Human Services (PDF).
About 7% of sexually active women use IUDs, according to a 2015 data brief from the National Center for Health Statistics (PDF).
As women wait to see what will happen in the future of their birth control options, what advice does Davis have?
"You have to talk to somebody to figure out what's the best birth control plan for you based on your circumstances, and if you want to get a method that is long-lasting, like IUDs, those do have a big upfront cost, so get it while it's covered," she said.
