THIS BELOW IS JUST A SAMPLE (not accurate)

[SAMPLE]Though there are about 10M birth control prescriptions in the country according to the CDC, only about 5% of them are obtained online through a telehealth medicine provider. But as the pandemic has shown, telehealth is very much needed, and is here to stay. There was this law that was passed that allowed recent telehealth procedures to continue long-term. Getting birth control online can help with the issue of contraceptive deserts in this country.

The inability of many women to get birth control in rural areas, called contraceptive deserts, should make us pause as a nation and consider what this means for people's lives. Oral contraceptives, as well as other hormonal birth control methods, allow women to plan their families, lead healthier lives, and also increase earning power. [INSERT STATS]

[PLACEHOLDER] We found that the most online birth control prescriptions come from California, followed by Texas and Florida. The least number of online birth control prescriptions were from Alaska, followed by Delaware and North Dakota.

[PLACEHOLDER] Among the top 100 cities where we serve customers, we found that Los Angeles has the most customers for online birth control, followed by Houston, Las Vegas, and Phoenix. Lincoln, Nebraska had the least number of customers, followed by Ocala, Florida and Katy, Texas.

Before diving into the results, let’s review the methodology and data used for the analysis.

[PLACEHOLDER] To find out where women are getting birth control prescriptions online the most - and least - we looked at our own company data to see where prescription fills came from. No patients were identified or privacy compromised during this look-up. We can prescribe in 48 states as a telemedicine provider and can deliver to all 50 states.

To begin, let’s look at the states that have the most and least number of customers who get birth control delivered to their home. The following chart shows all fifty states (plus the District of Columbia), ranked on a scale of 0 to 100, with California having the most customers and scaling at '100'.

Across the country, California has the most customers who get their birth control online and delivered to their home. California is also the most populated state with X population of women 18-35, and with the highest number of people who use services like Door Dash or Amazon. Texas and Florida are also highly populated states, coming in 2nd and 3rd in both number of customers who get birth control online and in population. But not every state's customer ranking correlates directly with population - Arizona is the 12th most populated state, but comes in at #7 in number of total customers who get birth control online.

Alaska has the least number of online birth control customers, and it's also the least populated state in America. The number of pharmacies is also the least in Alaska when measured across the country. Rural places like Alaska may benefit from telemedicine services, especially to remote places that lack medical care.

Next, we'll look at the cities where we have the most customers who get their birth control online. Below are the top 50 cities where our customers come from:

There you have it - Los Angeles is the top city in America for customers who get their birth control online. Los Angeles also happens to be the most populated city in California. The second and third place cities are Houston, Texas and Las Vegas, Nevada.

There's a lot of work to be done to give everyone access to birth control who needs it. All too often, reproductive rights have taken a back seat or have been scaled back.

In our analysis, we've seen that there are many places in America, especially the less populated areas with possibly more of a need, that do not online birth control services as much. Reaching these areas, especially in contraceptive deserts, will be key.

Low-dose Birth Control Pills: A Complete Guide

Chances are if you’ve thought about taking birth control pills before, you might have thought about how many hormones are actually in them.
