This article is about the program that Planned Parenthood has launched that allows patients from Minnesota and Washington to order birth control online. This service includes talking to an online nurse and receiving the package unmarked at their house. This service was created so that clients in rural areas can have access to birth control. An appealing factor about this new service is that it is extremely discreet, which is great for people who don't want to be seen going into a family planning clinic or for young people who don't want their parents to find out that they are sexually active. This new program can also help prevent people from ordering birth control from disreputable and illegal online pharmacies. This feature is good for young people because they don't have a relationship with a doctor that they can get subscriptions from. This program even has an app, and getting birth control has become easier for many people.
The author of this article, Amanda Marcotte, is very biased about the birth control situation and thinks that it is a health service that should be available for everyone, without subscriptions. She uses quotes from doctors in her article and gives many examples of the benefits of ordering birth control online. She added her additional research of googling "buy birth control" and checked the many sketchy websites that offered birth control without subscription. This shows that she was serious about her article and gives her examples and information credibility. She also adds her own personal opinion on how she thinks that this Planned Parenthood program extends to many states, not just Minnesota and Washington.
