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.
