In Romania, you can purchase contraception (birth control) without a prescription.<ref>[http://ocsotc.org/wp-content/uploads/worldmap/worldmap.html Global Oral Contraception Availability]</ref> <ref>[http://freethepill.org/where-on-earth/ Free the Pill: Where on Earth?]</ref> According to a 2015 report, 69% of Romanian women (who are of reproductive age and married or in unions) use some form of contraception, and 9% of the same demographic of women have unmet family planning needs. The most common forms of contraception were found to be condoms (24.1%), birth control pills (17.2%), the rhythm method (10.4%), IUDs (6.7%) and female sterilization (4.2%). The study showed a very low rate of usage of contraceptive implants (supposedly, it was 0%).<ref>[http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf Trends in Contraceptive Use 2015 Report]</ref> | |||
