“No one has a right to tell any woman what she can or cannot do with her own body. Abortion is a big choice and there are certain circumstances in which it is needed.”

Ortho Evra
A birth control patch that is worn on a woman’s buttocks, lower back or upper arm that releases hormones to prevent pregnancy. It is 99% effective at preventing pregnancy when used correctly. The patch is worn for a week at a time, for three consecutive weeks, and then replaced with a new one. One week is "patch free" (during a woman's period). It does not protect against sexually transmitted infections and must be prescribed by a health care provider. To learn more, visit www.orthoevra.com.
