Plan B at University Vending Machine

At Shippensburg University, getting access to Plan B, the emergency contraception pill, is as easy as getting a soda. Students can now buy the pill at a vending machine on campus, located inside the Health Center.

yeah I saw that. seems the law in PA is its available over the counter to anyone >16. yes at least over the counter gives some validation of age that the vending machine certainly cannot (caveat being that its not mentioned as to what access to the clinic is limited to, many colleges have student ID badges that satisfy locks). but someone buying for someone underage is a risk either way. RXs do a better job with that.

I really don't see it being the business of the school to be doing this but I'd fault PA more for bad law.

it does seem to be a public university, not private.

I wonder how many lawsuits will come out of this. Gotta love those lawyers, always looking for a way to make a buck.

If someone takes one of the pills and winds up having a bad reaction, you can bet that there will be a lawsuit.

An aborted embryo/fetus can cause serious problems if not done under a doctors supervision.
