What We Do

AbortionFinder is an easy-to-use search tool with clear, up-to-date information about the availability of abortion care across the country and how to access it, available in both English and Spanish. With the state of abortion access changing rapidly across the country, AbortionFinder also offers state-by-state guides with up-to-the-minute information about abortion access by state, a printable list of all abortion providers in the state, and a list of all abortion funds and practical support organizations in each state.

Bedsider is an online birth control support network for young people age 18 to 29. Bedsider.org provides millions of young people with authoritative, accessible, high-quality information about contraception and sexual health each year.

Health care providers, community organizations, and many others play a crucial role in ensuring that all young people have the power to decide if, when, and under what circumstances to get pregnant and have a child. We provide evidence-based resources and training to support providers in delivering patient-centered care and outreach. 

Reproductive well-being means that all people have equitable access to the information, services, and support they need to have control over their bodies, and to make their own decisions related to sexuality and reproduction throughout their lives. 

One Key Question^® training provides a framework for providers to routinely ask their patients about pregnancy desires and offer counseling and care based on their response. We offer trainings and technical assistance to providers, organizations, and others interested in adopting this approach.

We catalyze innovation in reproductive and sexual health by using HCD, also known as design thinking, to find creative solutions to challenges and pain points in the field. There are many ways we can support you and your organization to use HCD—including an in-person training—to develop innovative solutions to the challenges you've identified regarding sexual and reproductive health. 

From TLC's UNEXPECTED and Freeform's The Bold Type to Marie Claire and Cosmopolitan, we partner with writers and producers to talk about sexual health, relationships, and birth control.

The Contraceptive Equity Initiative is a new effort from Power to Decide to use our expertise, tools, and assets to address barriers to birth control access.

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.

To address key gaps in the field, inform Power to Decide programs, and monitor progress toward organizational goals, each year we conduct a survey to measure young people’s knowledge, attitudes, and experiences related to sexual and reproductive health information and health services, with an emphasis on contraception and abortion.
 

One piece of our larger work to advance state contraceptive access policies, our digital toolkit presents a variety of materials for elected officials, public health officials, and advocates. Currently, it focuses on three policies: coverage for an extended supply of contraception, protecting contraceptive coverage, and pharmacist prescribing of contraception.

We believe that one key to helping young people build that power is providing high-quality, accurate information about topics related to sexual health. Our research and data portal showcases Power to Decide's work on contraceptive deserts, abortion access, recent staff-authored publications, and much more.

Check out our resources on federal funding for evidence-based teen pregnancy prevention education, contraceptive access, and related issues, such as poverty and education. 

Check out our resources on state policy options that will increase information about and access to contraception as well as emerging state policy trends aimed at reducing unplanned pregnancy.

We stand for equity. To us this means the promise that everyone gets exactly the information and access to care they need to achieve healthy outcomes—no matter their ultimate decision. They get it on their terms, from someone who understands and respects them.

One way we create culture change is by supporting HBCU student success. Beyond the Sheets is a student-led initiative that empowers undergraduates at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) to take control of their sexual and reproductive well-being.
