Not too long ago I blogged about Chile’s plan to give access to free or very reduced cost Emergency Contraception.
It seems like this plan is now under threat, as reported by Ms.
Conservative officials in Chile are threatening the country’s progressive emergency contraception (EC) policies with a lawsuit that would ban EC. Under the policy of President Michelle Bachelet’s administration, all forms of birth control including EC have been free for women over 14 at public clinics since 2006.
Taking away EC is not going to help with unwanted pregnancies, it is simply going to make women put their health at risk.
Not good.
