Contraception is legal but must be obtained through a physician's prescription. However, once obtained, there is very little social stigma regarding birth control in San Francisco
In San Francisco, birth control pills are legal for both minors (under 18 years old) and adults. Minors do not need parental permission to obtain birth control.
While you do need a prescription for birth control, this prescription can be obtained at a pharmacy. Unlike many other US states, which require that you actually visit a physician for a prescription, California (as of April 2016) does not require that you visit a physician for self-administered hormonal contraception, which includes patches, pills and vaginal rings. For birth control that requires a physician, like IUDs, you will still need to visit a doctor.
