Abstract:
Although it has been almost 60 years since the advent of the oral birth control pill and the development of a variety of forms of contraception, more than half of pregnancies among Mississippi women are unintended. Unintended pregnancy is associated with women prematurely leaving education and employment, as well as pre-term births and low birthweight babies, all of which create financial burdens for families and taxpayers.
