(Washington D.C., Wednesday, November 17, 2021) – A new national survey being released from Power to Decide shows that concern is on the rise about the ability of people to access the full range of birth control methods.

Power to Decide’s Thanks, Birth Control survey results are being released in conjunction with the ninth annual Thanks, Birth Control Day, taking place Wednesday, November 17.

The survey looked at the political affiliation of respondents and shows that the majority believe all people, regardless of who they are, where they live or what their economic status may be deserve access to all methods of birth control.

In addition, the survey shows that the majority of respondents report using some form of contraception to avoid an unplanned pregnancy and agree that birth control has allowed them to manage health conditions.

Birth control is cited as one of the ten greatest public health achievements of the 20th century (according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), because of its profoundly positive impact on women, families and society.

The study was conducted for Power to Decide by SSRS, an independent research company. A total of 1,005 interviews were conducted between September 21, 2021 and October 7, 2021, among adults ages 18 to 45. The margin of error for total respondents is +/-3.58% at the 95% confidence level.

Power to Decide is a private, non-partisan, non-profit organization that works to ensure all people—no matter who they are, where they live or what their economic status might be—have the power to decide if, when and under what circumstances to get pregnant and have a child.
