In the United States, there is currently a battle to allow emergency contraception, known popularly as “the morning after pill” or “Plan B” to be available over the counter. Currently in the US, it is available only via a prescription. Even with said prescription, there are reports of pharmacists refusing to fill prescriptions.

The Morning After Pill has been readily available in pharmacies in Mexico and more recently public hospitals and health clinics are stocking up on emergency contraception, ensuring equal access across class lines.

Who would have thought that it would be easier to gain access in very Catholic Mexico than in the so called leading country in the free world? If the FDA keeps dragging its feet will U.S. mujeres be crossing the border?
