Back-up Your Birth Control Day

 

Today, women have a second chance to prevent an unintended pregnancy.

Emergency Contraception – or EC for short – is a back-up method of birth control. EC is also known as the morning after pill. EC is now available without a prescription to women 18 an older. Women younger than 18 need a prescription from their doctor or other health care provider.

The 2008 Back Up Your Birth Control Day of Activism is Today, March 25, 2008.

Having worked at the local Planned Parenthood, I am very pleased to say that I have seen young women take matters into their own hands and use EC in a responsible manner. Women that have no intention of getting pregnant and are already on a form of Birth Control can also benefit from EC. You can “Back up your Birth Control” if you miss a pill, if a condom breaks, or if you have another type of “mishap”. EC can be of great use to many people. Do not be embarrassed to get a dose!
