Morning after pill now available OTC

[Rawtid]

The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that it would make the most widely known morning-after pill available without a prescription to girls and women ages 15 and older, and also make the pill available on drugstore shelves, instead of keeping it locked up behind pharmacy counters.

Until this decision the pill, Plan B One-Step, which is used after sexual intercourse to help prevent pregnancy, was available without a prescription only for ages 17 and older.

They don't have $50?

$50 is a little steep. They should find a way to lower the price. It's poor women who have problems with unwanted pregnancies and contraception.

$50 is too much for a 15-year-old bytch?

Well she can either have a kid and spend nearly 10k a year on the baby or go to her school nurse and get a free condom

Not when you're poor. The government will provide all you need.

Which is even more reason why it should cost less. Lets be real, the types of people who need moring after pills are the same ones who end up on welfare. It would be very cost effective for the American economy if the pregnancies were prevented.

Furthermore the idea of easy access to contraception is so that young women don't have to jump through a bunch of embarrassing hoops to get the contraception. Making them available OTC is a step in the right direction, but if a 15 year old girl has to scrape up $50 to buy it, then it's not very accessible.

Not when you're poor. The government will provide all you need.

Once again too busy demonizing poor people to get the bigger picture. The goverment provides much more for people after a baby is born, they'd actually be saving money by subsidizing morning after pills.
