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:
August 24 marks the one-year anniversary of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) long-delayed approval of over-the-counter sales for the emergency contraceptive known by its brand name Plan B®. Quick refresher: Emergency contraception (EC), if taken within 72-120 hours after sex, can significantly reduce a woman's chance of becoming pregnant. EC does not cause abortion; rather it works like other hormonal birth control to prevent pregnancy. For the 98 percent of American women who use some form of contraception during their lives, this is basic, essential health care.
So make sure to check it out!
