Without what’s known as the “birth control mandate,” many women may suddenly find it difficult and expensive to access birth control pills each month. The copper IUD costs up to $63 and the hormonal IUD costs up to $380 at Planned Parenthood Toronto. The copper IUD is not included in the data, which only tracks pharmaceuticals.

Both the copper and hormonal IUD can last 3-10 years, are inserted through the cervix into the uterus.
