Birth control use is up since FDA approved over-the-counter pill

A new study shows access to birth control has increased following the FDA's approval of an over-the-counter birth control pill. In the two years since the pill went on the market, there's a 31.8% percent increase in people who chose this option after having used no contraception at all.
