Contraceptive Deserts

More than 19 million women of reproductive age living in the US are in need of publicly funded contraception and live in contraceptive deserts. Our map provides an up-to-date, visual description of where women in need can access birth control—and where they can’t—across the country.

Survey Says

There’s a lot of information—and misinformation—when it comes to sexual health and contraception. We believe it's important to regularly assess and report on public perspectives about reproductive well-being.

Interactive Abortion Access Maps

Alongside what should have been the 50th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, Power to Decide's AbortionFinder published interactive maps that provide a compelling illustration of the terrible new chapter for abortion access that’s unfolded over the past year. The maps convey the chaos sparked by the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on June 24, 2022, which rolled back generations of reproductive rights by overturning Roe v. Wade—and now jeopardizes the reproductive rights of generations to come.
