Don't Wait for the Morning After, Get Your EC Today


Like pretty well everyone else, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists is tired of waiting for the Bush Administration to crawl out of its 19th century cave. If you aren't willing to help the U.S. compete with China as the reproduction capital of the world, get your EC before you need it.

Waiting for the FDA to approve Plan B is like waiting for FEMA to rescue you from a hurricane. Don't wait.

Women Urged to Get 'Morning After' Pill

WASHINGTON - Get an advance prescription for emergency contraception so it will be on hand if you need it, the nation's largest gynecologist group advised women Monday.

"We want women to be prepared, well before a contraceptive failure or unprotected sex occurs. Afterward may be too late," said Dr. Michael Mennuti, president of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.
