Check out EC series on RH Reality Check!

The fantastic blog RH Reality Check has a great series on emergency contraception in honor of the year anniversary of the FDA's approval of the drug for over-the-counter sale. Our own Nancy Keenan even weighs in:

For the 98 percent of American women who use some form of contraception during their lives, this is basic, essential health care.
