A Decision for Women, Not Pharmacists
Plan B® is birth control, and the decision of whether to get pregnant is one that should be made by a woman not by other people who want to impose their beliefs on her. And because time is of the essence in increasing Plan B’s® effectiveness, the 8841 Six Forks Rd Rite Aid’s refusal to sell it is more than an inconvenience for some it can actually limit our choices.
Facts About Emergency Contraception
Emergency contraception (EC) is sold under the brand name Plan B®. EC is simply a concentrated dose of ordinary birth-control pills that can reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy if taken soon after sex. EC is not the abortion pill, RU-486; it cannot harm or terminate an already-established pregnancy. EC can be taken within a few days after sex; however, the medication is more effective the earlier it is taken. |
