When we say everyone loves birth control, we mean it! Nearly 85% of all adults agree that all people—regardless of who they are or where they live—deserve the power to decide if, when, and under what circumstances to become pregnant and have a child. To celebrate #ThxBirthControl Day, we asked our team to share what access to birth control has meant for them personally!
