She actually explains it in the article:

- The nearest Planned Parenthood is 3 hours away

- The college she attends has free condoms, but most people in poverty aren't college students

- Low-cost medical clinics/clinics with sliding scales still have a co-pay

- Sleeping with someone makes you feel valued and is free way to make yourself feel better, if only for an hour

The last point is something that many middle class/rich people do as well -- sleeping with people to feel valued -- but most of them are able to purchase birth control methods and/or easily access free birth control (like the condom jar).

So every time you "put it in," you are trying to make a baby? Poor people also know about the different kinds of sex acts available to humans, I'm not sure if you're a virgin, trolling, or just don't understand how human biology works.
