Even with all the gags and the lighthearted fun, you never forget the drama in Plan B all stems from the pitiful lack of access to abortions for many people in this country. From there, the movie turns into the kind of lighthearted buddy comedy you’d expect from the road trip genre, filled with raucous gags and ridiculous situations. When that drunken encounter turns into a pregnancy scare, Sunny and Lupe go to a pharmacy to get a Plan B pill but are turned away because they don’t have a parent present.

Plan B and other levonorgestrel morning-after pills are a type of emergency contraception that can reduce the risk of pregnancy after unprotected sex.

"So, if you unravel one string in that fabric of doctrine, it could potentially unravel the other rights or at least open them up to greater attack." If you've already taken Ella but later need emergency contraception again for unprotected sex in the following five days, you will need to take Ella again – not a levonorgestrel pill. Hodges (which established the right to same-sex marriage) "are not at issue" right now. "What you shouldn't do is combine Plan B and Ella," Shah said. Despite the name, you don't have to take a morning-after pill in the morning directly after having unprotected sex. Ella can reduce risk of pregnancy by 85% if taken within five days after unprotected sex (the sooner the better, like Plan B), Planned Parenthood says. Morning after pills like Plan B are "a great form of contraception," Shah said. Planned Parenthood notes that it works best to take a levonorgestrel pill within three days of unprotected sex. Shah recommends buying one or two morning-after pills or getting a prescription in advance, that way you are prepared when you need it. You can also order some levonorgestrel pills online, if time allows, or try going to a nearby family planning clinic or health center. There are two types of morning-after pills: levonorgestrel pills and the ulipristal acetate-based Ella pill. Wade case could mean for other rights protected under the right to privacy, including contraception as a whole.

Wade decision in 1973, according to the NCSL. And from that we got a whole slew of sexual privacy rights," Anthony Michael Kreis, a law professor at Georgia State University College of Law, told USA TODAY in May. Indiana does not have any laws on the books that mention emergency contraception. Indiana is not one of them. Though the Supreme Court on Friday ended the constitutional right to an abortion as established 50 years ago in Roe v. (Talk to your doctor first before using regular birth control as an emergency contraceptive.)

Now, with abortion likely to be banned in many states, people are wondering if that means that access to birth control, IUDs, and emergency contraception will ...

Still, Lincoln notes that both Ella and Plan B can be sent to you from mail-order birth control companies. It all comes down to how the law is interpreted and whether or not it can be expanded to include the pill or other forms of emergency contraception. The purpose of Plan B is to stop you from getting pregnant after having unprotected sex or after you think your contraception has failed. This will lead to lack of access when people need it most," cautions Lincoln. "Instead, get yourself one or two so you have them if you or a friend needs them. You can expect bleeding and cramping, which is normal to expel the pregnancy, according to Lincoln. You might also experience nausea, chills, and fever for a short period, per Planned Parenthood. Emergency contraception does not impact your chances of getting pregnant in the future. Taking Plan B prevents pregnancy by delaying ovulation. However, "this is a hypothetical that has never been proven," she says. It causes the pregnancy to stop progressing, says Shepherd. In 2021, a study showed that 24 percent of women ages 22 to 49 years old had used emergency contraception in their lifetime, per the CDC. But experts warn that it shouldn't be your main way of preventing pregnancy. On Friday June 24, The Supreme Court voted in a 5-4 decision to overturn Roe v.

There's been plenty of confusion since the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade on Friday. Here's what it means for birth control and Plan B access in SC.

- A thin, stick-on square that is placed on the body to prevent the release of an egg. It must be inserted each time a woman has sex and is 94% effective if used correctly. - If you have health insurance or Medicaid, there’s a good chance you can get Plan B for free. - A 2-inch, thin plastic rod that uses hormones to prevent pregnancy for three years. You can also get it at low or no-cost at a family planning clinic. The goal of the legislation is to curb unwanted pregnancies and abortions.
