I thank Drs. Will, Mariona, and Gubert and the anonymous author for their wonderful recommendations on approaches to help improve contraceptive care for women. I agree with Dr. Will that the EHR is a valuable tool to advance contraceptive care. The anonymous author and Dr. Mariona make the critically important point that all women should have access to desired contraception without any barriers based on institutional beliefs or government regulations. The patient’s needs should be prioritized in all medical decision making. I agree with Dr. Gubert that including the male partner in the care process is an important part of effective contraception for women. I enthusiastically agree with her that the best permanent contraceptive for a stable couple is vasectomy.
