Startups Startup Nurx, Maven and Lemonaid have all recently introduced birth control that you can order online and have delivered to your door.

The process is simple: women answer doctors' question online, order pills and within 24 hours the pills arrive on their doorstep.

Plus studies show that the easier it is to obtain the pill, the more women who need it will take it.
