These states let you pick up birth control with your groceries. Why aren’t people doing it?

For most women, birth control isn’t exactly an easy item to pick up. First, you have to make a doctor’s appointment and wait for an opening. Then you have to get yourself to the clinic, taking time off work to wait some more to get a health exam you might not even be due for — which you may not have the insurance to pay for. Then you take the prescription to the pharmacy, where there’s more waiting. The whole process can easily take weeks.
