You might be interested in The Pill Patrol (http://pillpatrol.saveroe.com/), which is asking for volunteers to gather data on the dispensing practises of local pharmacies. More information at the website. I’m sorry to read about your difficulty obtaining Plan B.

It SHOULD be available to every woman of any age, any nationality, or any financial situation, but it's not because of the male dominated politics that are blatantly running the country. The FDA makes me sick with what was done over Plan B. Sick to my stomach. And way WAY more people should be damn angry about it. I know, it’s freaking amazing, isn’t it?

If you live in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Maine, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts or Washington, you can get Plan B® without a prescription at some pharmacies; however, you should call your pharmacy in advance to make sure they offer and stock Plan B®. THAT was taken directly from their site.... FURTHERMORE IF IT IS LEAGAL DAMNIT WHY ARE THERE SUCH STIPULATIONS????

It's atrocious. It honestly surprised me just because I thought, of all places in the fucking country, the MIDDLE OF MANHATTAN would be a place where you could at least expect people to be slightly more well informed about these issues than the majority of the country. The next time you go to Walgreens or CVS <b>frecklescassie</b>, you should ask the pharmacy for it (if you're over 18) just to see if they'll give it to you. I feel like carrying a sandwich board around with the text, "BOTH MEN AND WOMEN CAN GET PLAN B - YOU DO NOT NEED TO HAVE A PHOTO, GOVERNMENT ISSUED I.D." plastered on it.
