Intended pregnancies improve lives
In South Carolina, unintended pregnancies cost taxpayers nearly $79 million a year and lead to many problems downstream. Our goal is to see a reduction in unintended pregnancy in South Carolina 25 percent by 2021.

South Carolina faces many issues. One makes all the others harder to solve. More than half the state’s pregnancies are unintended — costing children their wellbeing and families their stability. We’re working to shape a culture where all pregnancies are intended, and women and men have equitable access to contraceptive care.

Many rural counties are medically underserved and have a shortage in contraceptive counseling and services. Access to care for women is made harder by pockets of poverty, lack of public transportation, unemployment and no health insurance.
Choose Well is arming doctors and nurses in these rural communities with the funds, training and equipment for residents to access contraceptive healthcare so they can choose to have children at the right time.
