Yo, did you know that if you’re unemployed or make below a certain amount of money Planned Parenthood will give you a year’s supply of birth control for free? And they’ll give you most treatments and exams for free? And they’ll hook you up with condoms and planned B for free?

Morning-After Pill Is Not a Cure-All | NYTimes.com
If a recent federal court ruling stands, any young woman will be able to walk into her neighborhood drugstore, find the morning-after pill near the shelves stocked with condoms and KY Jelly and buy it — no questions asked.
That would be a surprising change: At the moment, girls 16 and younger must have a prescription to buy the morning-after pill, which helps prevent pregnancy after sexual intercourse. As a result, even though it is nonprescription for everyone else, even an older woman can buy it only at the pharmacy window, and she must show a valid ID and proof of age.
