Not saying this is representative of all economically disadvantaged women, of course, because it isn't, but...there's a subculture in the inner city neighborhoods here in which the women go in surreptitiously for a depoprovera shot or an IUD because if their boyfriends find out they're using birth control they'll have the crap beaten out of them. Those guys view making babies as a sign of their manliness. Sadly, they don't view taking care of those babies as important.
Thus, these women can't afford to have their men find a packet of pills or see a patch. Forget condoms in these cases.
