So somewhere along the line, either she failed to go it, or planned parenthood failed to track her. Either way, you can get that pill there and the morning after pill is not very hard to get their easy (with a very short consultation and not even an examination).

i'm not quite understanding how you can group the two together. one is taking a higher dosage of birth control when you think there is a chance of getting pregnant up to 72 hours after having sex. with the other, you know you are pregnant and are getting an abortion. with holly's law, the girl didn't go back for a checkup, like should have been done.. i don't know who's fault that is and am not going to place blame.
i haven't decided how i feel about the morning after pill being otc. part of me thinks it is a good idea, part of me doesn't. i think that all woman should have access to it. although i don't condone it being used as your main form of bc. but you know what, accidents happen, condom breaks, condoms aren't used properly, etc. and when that happens, i am all for the woman to have a backup method at birth control. and unfortunately with it not being otc, as a few have stated already, people are not always given the opportunity to get it or even told about it in some circumstances.
