From the organization NARAL:

It took three years, but now the "morning-after" pill, known as Plan B®, is available for over-the-counter sales to people over 18 years of age. Pro-choice Americans celebrated the victory, and it's time to move on, right?

Tashina and Brian of Springfield, OH, would tell you that you're wrong. This month, the couple tried to buy Plan B® over the counter at the local Wal-Mart after a condom broke. Instead, they were laughed at and denied the medication by the pharmacist, who stated, "I believe in preserving life, and I do not believe in ending life, and life begins at conception." Read the full story here.

Improving women's access to Plan B® was the first step. Tashina and Brian's experience makes it clear that there are still too many obstacles to accessing this important back-up birth control from pharmacists who refuse to dispense the product to pharmacies that refuse to stock it. That's why we need your help.

Today, we ask you to take a moment to call your local pharmacy and ask if it stocks Plan B®. Click here for a sample script you can use.

Once you find out whether or not your local pharmacy is stocking Plan B®, it's essential that you tell us what you find out. The data that you and thousands of other activists collect will give us the information we need to work with leading pharmacy chains to guarantee that American women have access to a safe and effective means of preventing unintended pregnancy.

Tashina and Brian were lucky: they later visited a CVS and were given the medication. Unfortunately, a story like theirs doesn't always have a happy ending.

It's up to us to make sure that responsible women and men who need Plan B® to prevent an unintended pregnancy can get it. Please call your local pharmacy today, use our sample phone script, and tell us what you learn.
