"I chose a long term reversible method of birth control because I have goals in my life. I want to finish college and I want to get a better education and find a stable job before I have children."
DestinyClient of A Step Ahead Foundation"I'm a single mother of an 18 year old son, I'm 33 years old, which means I had my son when I was 15. I didn't know about birth control and different birth control options, which is part of the reason I support A Step Ahead Foundation. They provide education and birth control options for young women so they can make better decisions for their lives and put themselves in a better position to have a good life and children when they are ready."
SummerAdvocate of A Step Ahead Foundation"I choose to use birth control because I recently had a child and I'm not trying to have anymore anytime soon. I'm trying to go to school and have a career in my life. I'm trying to be able to provide for the one that I do have and I'm not trying to add anymore right now."
