FREE Emergency Contraception!

From our friends at NCJWSTL:

NCJWSTL is thrilled to announce that we have partnered with the Missouri Family Health Council (MFHC) to distribute FREE emergency contraception kits! This effort is vitally important in the wake of last year's Supreme Court decision overturning Roe vs. Wade, especially in states like Missouri where abortion is illegal. Everyone should have the right to determine when and if they wish to start a family, and emergency contraception is vital in preventing unwanted pregnancies.

Also known as the morning-after pill, or by the brand name Plan B, the emergency contraception pill is an over-the-counter form of birth control that can be taken up to five days after unprotected sex to avoid pregnancy. The goal of this effort is to reduce geographic and financial barriers Missourians face in accessing emergency contraception pills.

While supplies last, MFHC, NCJWSTL and other partner organizations are offering free EC kits to anyone of any age. Feel free to stop by the NCJWSTL office to pick up your kit - for you or a loved one.

If you have any questions, please contact Jen Bernstein at jbernstein@ncjwstl.org.
