How contraception can boost social mobility (Adam Thomas, Quentin Karpilow, Brookings)

A bowl of free New York City condoms.

Nearly half of all pregnancies in the United States are unintended. This is a problem.

Children whose births were unintended are more likely to experience adverse developmental and behavioral outcomes. Almost all abortions are also the result of unintended pregnancies.
