Every woman deserves a second chance at preventing unintended pregnancy.

--Many women have difficulty obtaining ECPs in a timely manner because they must jump through a series of hoops in order to obtain the contraceptive method. They must first obtain a prescription which can be challenging because medical offices may be closed in the evenings and on the weekends and/or women in rural areas may have to travel great distances to the nearest health care provider. If they obtain a prescription in time, in many instances they have to take the prescription to a pharmacy to acquire the pills. Accessing emergency contraception at the pharmacy can be taxing if the pharmacy does not carry emergency contraception, if they are unwilling to order the contraception, or if the pharmacist on duty refuses to dispense the medication. While emergency contraception is effective for up to 120 hours after intercourse it is seven times more effective if taken within 24 hours .
