ecminnesota.org (applause from the crowd)

go to this site to find the nearest pharmacy that provides over the counter emergency contraceptives- EC

the site tells you which pharmacy carries the morning-after pill, how much it costs there, what their hours are, and reminds you that even men (yes, men) can buy the pill over the counter.

BRAVO!!! this site is so overdue and so necessary!!
















okay, seriously- i got an email from naral today telling me about this new site and i noticed an immediate emotional response- relief, excitement, happiness (even).

working at crisis connection and for my own self, i've noticed that it's never been easy for a girl to understand where, when, how this stuff is available, which is so counterintuitive to the reason it exists, don't you think?

well, there are a lot of forces that don't really want this sort of information to be found easily.

but way to go ecminnesota.org. i'm a little surprised at how strongly i feel about this. i've been meaning to blog about so many things lately, but when i saw this, i knew i had to stop what i was doing and blog NOW.

i'm so excited that this resource is available now and i'm planning to tell all my friends about it.

pass it on!
