The Population Institute has issued the US an overall C- on its second annual Women’s Health report card. The main culprit of the grade is the persistence that about 50% of all pregnancies in the US are unintended. Weighing in against this was the major win of emergency contraceptive Plan B One Step being made available OTC and without age restrictions.

California, Oregon, Washington and Maryland all were awarded As. Overall, however, only 17 states were awarded the grade B- or better. Sadly, 13 states received an absolute failing grade including Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.
