Abortion Care in Missouri | Right By You Text Line

Missourians have options when it comes to contraception (AKA birth control).

There are a range of medications and devices to prevent pregnancy, and many are available at low cost or for free.

Long term contraception is used repeatedly, often on monthly cycle, to prevent pregnancy.

Emergency contraception is used soon after sexual contact to make sure pregnancy doesn't happen.

Emergency contraception is a pill or device used within five days of sexual contact to prevent pregnancy. The sooner it's used, the better it works.

There is no age restriction on emergency contraception, so people of all ages can get it and use it.

There are several ways to get free emergency contraception in Missouri. Right By You has free, no-questions asked pickup sites in Hannibal, Columbia and Jefferson City. Other organizations offer additional pickup sites around the state, as well as options to receive emergency contraception by mail.
