In United States, nearly half of all pregnancies each year (approximately 3 million) are unintended. More than half of all American women will have experienced an unintended pregnancy by age 45. 3 in 10 will have had an abortion. In 2013, there were 67 million women of reproductive age (13-44) in U.S, and more than half of them needed some form of contraceptive service or supplies. For the past two decades, women increasingly rely on publicly funded clinics especially the poor, uninsured, younger than 25 years old, or population at risk for sexually transmitted infections who cannot afford care. In 1995, 17 percent women received sexual or reproductive health service from a publicly funded clinic and the trend has been on the rise.
