For some women, this lessened the financial burden they were shouldering to pay for the birth control pill, saving them $255 per year on average. For others, the additional coverage allowed them to access more reliable, but formerly more expensive, forms of birth control. "In January 2011, you started to see abortion restrictions flying through the state legislatures," Nash said.
"It was a turning point in abortion legislation," McHugh said, noting that since those restrictions weren't based in science, they primarily made health care more expensive and harder to get for women. Since human papillomavirus causes nearly all cervical cancers, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and is linked to various other types of cancer, preventing the cancer-causing sexually transmitted disease, which 79 million American are infected with, is a high priority for reproductive health experts.
