Yarisleidy Fana: Research topic

My research essay will be focused on birth control and it’s availability over the last 10 years. This topic intrigues me because you do not see enough resources where women could go to in order to get any kind of birth control. I have noticed that there are not many places to go to  besides Planned Parenthood which Donald Trump is trying to get rid of. Teen pregnancy is rising and there are a large number of teenagers visiting these clinics. One of the questions that I have is what is the age range of the people who go and get birth control? How does every form of birth control work? As well as if the Bronx has the lowest number of clinics available that offer birth control? I have seen a lot of cases where women could not get it because their insurance would not cover it and they would have to settle for just condoms or keeping an unwanted pregnancy. Some people’s bodies reject Birth control which makes it impossible for them to have it in their bodies for too long. While doing my research I would like to know why birth control is so expensive? Also, if it is actually safe and healthy for your body. In my map I would like to include all the clinics that are available in the Bronx to provide you with any form of birth control that you desire and I will include the race/ethnicities that visit the clinics the most specifically for that.
