Program
Her life, her right.
By providing free and low-cost birth control, we enable women to pursue education and employment opportunities and plan for children — if they want — on their own timelines.
Up To 114,000 unwanted or mistimed pregnancies averted1
Up To 54,000 unplanned births prevented1
We serve women in every corner of South Carolina, giving them the chance to live life on their own terms. This is especially critical for low-income and uninsured women in rural areas.
We're making substantial progress.
Since the launch of our statewide birth control access program in 2017, unwanted births have decreased by 58%. And our 120+ partner-clinics have provided contraceptive services to 530,000 women. Our contraceptive access program has helped achieve the state’s lowest unintended pregnancy rate in the past 20 years: from nearly 50% to 37%.
A 360-degree approach to birth control access.
Grounded in decades of work, our program grew from New Morning’s long history of delivering birth control access and reproductive health education to women and families throughout the state. A complex ecosystem of diverse partners — like community and rural health clinics, hospitals, universities, nursing programs, community-reaching organizations and more — the model is unparalleled.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get birth control through New Morning?
Yes, people who are low income and uninsured or underinsured can visit NoDrama.org to connect to telehealth services or a nearby partner clinic for contraceptive care.
What is No Drama?
No Drama is New Morning’s consumer education campaign, providing information on all FDA-approved birth control methods and connecting people with participating clinics and telehealth services.
Who is eligible for New Morning’s contraceptive health services?
South Carolina residents, students enrolled in colleges and universities in South Carolina, and those living in SC temporarily are eligible to access services.
Does New Morning counsel patients about abortion or refer patients to abortion providers?
No. New Morning connects patients to contraceptive health services at local partner clinics. We work to increase access to birth control which research has shown actually decreases unintended pregnancies and abortions. We do not fund abortion services or pharmaceutical products that cause abortions.
Since the FDA approved an over-the-counter birth control pill, why is New Morning still needed?
New Morning is South Carolina’s largest provider of “safety net” birth control services. With a monthly cost of $20, over the counter birth control (Opill) is not affordable for many South Carolinians. We offer free or low-cost birth control to individuals who are low-income and uninsured or underinsured.
