If you live in Kansas, it might be a lot harder to access birth control than it is in other states. New research by the Population Reference Bureau, or PRB, shows that’s because of the state’s policies on contraceptive access.

PRB recently released scorecards on each state, grading them based on whether or not their policies protect access to contraceptives. Kansas ranked dead last.
