Teen girls are still facing unnecessary obstacles in obtaining emergency contraception.
A new study shows one in five 17-year-old girls is wrongly told by a pharmacist that she’s too young to get the morning-after pill without a prescription.
The FDA ruled in 2009 that anyone 17 and over can get the pill without a prescription or parental consent.
Researchers also found more than a third of pharmacies not carrying the pill failed to offer teen girls any information on how they could obtain it.
