read this in a review of a book about bc:

In fact, the pill has been far more popular and had greater impact among the affluent than the poor and has been far more widely used in developed countries than developing ones.” Contraception hasn’t been a panacea for broader inequality, and it will never be, even if IUDs were available free on demand on every street corner.

i wonder why that is - is it just about the prevalence of social/religious stigmas and the lack of sexual education, or are women from poorer communities more tightly controlled when it comes to their bodies?
