From NARAL Pro-Choice America Foundation:

Something may be missing from drugstore shelves across the nation.

After years of politically motivated delays, the FDA finally approved the emergency contraceptive Plan B (also known as the “morning-after” pill) for over-the-counter sales for women age 18 and older.

Access to this safe, effective form of birth control could help women across the country prevent unintended pregnancies.

But even with the FDA’s approval of over-the-counter access for Plan B, many national pharmacy corporations do not have a nationwide policy requiring all their chain stores to stock it. Pharmacy chains’ practices vary by region and each individual pharmacy’s preferences. This leaves too many women who need it without access.

You can make a difference.
