Speakout for the Morning-After Pill

Anyone who is old enough to get pregnant is old enough to decide if she wants to be pregnant.

The Morning-After Pill (MAP), also known as Emergency Contraception or Plan-B One Step, is birth control that can be used to prevent pregnancy up to 120 hours after sex.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that MAP is safer than aspirin.

ALL WOMEN AND GIRLS:

• Should have the right to control when and if we have children
• Should have unrestricted access to safe and effective forms of birth control
• Should be able to access the Morning-After Pill (MAP), regardless of our age or whether we have identification

We will not be divided by age restrictions.

HHS's decision to block the FDA from making MAP accessible over-the-counter is based on sexist, anti-birth control politics, not science.
