Reposting from an email from Planned Parenthood:
I was under the impression it was already available OTC in MA prior to this, but I could be mistaken.
Starting Today, PPLM Provides
Emergency Contraception (EC) Over-The-Counter!
No Appointment - No Prescription - No Visit With a Clinician
Need EC?
Now it is even easier to get emergency contraception (EC) at
Planned Parenthood League of Massachusetts (PPLM). Get EC when
you need it, or plan ahead and keep EC in your medicine cabinet.
What is EC?
EC is an FDA-approved form of contraception that can prevent
unintended pregnancy if taken up to five days after unprotected
sex. The sooner it is taken, the more effective it will be.
How do I get EC now that it is over-the-counter?
Starting today, women 18 and older will be able to get EC at
PPLM without a prescription. You will need a valid ID to
purchase EC, but you will not need to meet with a doctor or
nurse.
How do I get EC if I am under 18?
You can still get a prescription for EC at PPLM in 30 minutes or
less. Walk-in any time we are open or submit a request for a
prescription online at
http://www.ppaction.org/ct/s1SHcC51OmKA/PPLM.

increased access to EC to your friends and family. For more
