Emergency Contraception –“ The Morning After Pill” – Plan B Prevention First in South Dakota

Emergency contraception is a concentrated dosage of ordinary birth-control pills that can dramatically reduce a woman’s chance of becoming pregnant if taken soon after sex or sexual assault. Last year the FDA approved over-the-counter sales of emergency contraception medication for individuals ages 18 and over.

Only sixty-one percent of South Dakota ’s 181 retail pharmacies answered the NARAL Pro-Choice South Dakota survey that they do stock emergency contraception Plan B, also known as the “morning after pill.” Of the 111 that do stock the medication, 94 pharmacies indicated that they usually have someone present who is willing to dispense it.

To help women in South Dakota find emergency contraception in time, NARAL Pro-Choice South Dakota Foundation has printed a brochure which lists the pharmacies that stock Plan B, their addresses, hours and phone numbers. With only 61% of the pharmacies stocking Plan B, and time being so critical to the effectiveness of the medication; it is important that women know where they can go if emergency contraception is needed. The purpose of the brochure is to provide the information needed for timely access to emergency contraception and thereby reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and the need for abortion in South Dakota.

PRO-CHOICE? PRO-LIFE? PRO-PREVENTION.

Americans are tired of divisive attacks on a woman's right to choose. That's why we are challenging federal and state lawmakers to unify behind commonsense measures to prevent unintended pregnancies and reduce the need for abortion. The values of freedom and personal responsibility are the basis for our Prevention First agenda. We support guaranteeing women's access to birth control, including the "morning after" pill, making sure our kids receive honest, realistic sex education, and increasing support for family-planning services.

Join us in putting Prevention First.
