Summary
Restricted access to family planning resources, including contraception and the option to terminate unwanted pregnancies, influence a majority of women and their families. Programs and policies are in place to reduce known obstacles, but there is currently little to no research on additional barriers women face when attempting to access various reproductive services in areas where conservative political and religious views are strong (i.e., the Deep South). The goal of this project is to clarify the existing delivery systems for reproductive health and family planning services in Mississippi. Blanchard, and Cordova [4] found that information given by Medicaid offices regarding payment for alternative reproductive health services is often incorrect or inconsistent with the law, which can discourage women seeking such services
