Can you access Plan B?

Emergency contraception is now legally available over the counter, but as we have reported previously, there are still barriers to accessing Plan B, including pharmacies that still keep the product behind the counter.

The Media Consortium is running a project to map EC access now that the product should be available everywhere. Check out the project’s video below, and then fill out the form after the jump about the accessibility of Plan B at your local drugstore. If enough of us participate, we can get a picture of emergency contraception access in this country.
