When EC is Unavailable, Mexico is Plan B

You know our reproductive rights are in dire straits when teenagers from the U.S. are going to Mexico to get EC without a prescription. Scary.
Mexico– not exactly a bastion of reproductive freedom– approved EC for over-the-counter sale last year. Parental consent is not necessary to purchase the pill, and public health clinics are required to keep EC in stock.
The Mexican government has picked up on something that U.S. anti-choicers have yet to understand: If you want to reduce abortions, make EC widely available.
I hope this story gets broader coverage. Then perhaps the FDA will realize it’s better to improve EC access in the U.S. than force some teenagers to cross the border to obtain it.
