TWHC advocates for greater access to birth control for all Texas Women.
Many women struggle to obtain a prescription for their preferred birth control and pick up their prescription, often due to a lack of prescribing providers, wait times for appointments, no local pharmacy, transportation issues, and challenges with getting time off work. We advocate to reduce barriers to all forms of FDA-approved birth control in legislative and regulatory environments.

Long- Acting Reversible Contraception: One- pager
Long-acting reversible contraceptives, or LARCs, are a form of birth control that prevents pregnancy over multiple years after the one-time placement of a device into a woman’s body. They are the most effective form of birth control and can be removed or “reversed” at any time.
