Did you know that 50% of pregnancies in the United States are unplanned and that number rises to 85% in women under 20 years of age? Why does this matter, you ask?

It means that you may not be able to meet your goals and make your dreams come true. It means that you are leaving your future to chance instead of taking control of your life.
