American Society for Emergency Contraception

Today is a good day to take a look at our EC factsheets. From accessibility to weight and special population considerations, there’s something for everyone. Visit our website! americansocietyforec.org/projects #reprorights #emergencycontraception #reproductiveautonomy #reproductivehealth

It was such an action packed day, we forgot to text updates 😅

A HUGE thank you to all our guests and speakers who joined us in person and online for this year’s EC Jamboree! We are so proud to be in this space with you and look forward to next year! #reproductivehealth #emergencycontraception

@harofe64 Yes - we were so glad to see this change! It was a LONG time coming...

Finally... @amsocforec

Important development in emergency contraception! New study: adding piroxicam, common arthritis drug, to levonorgestrel (Plan B & generics) makes it significantly more effective. The stakes for pregnancy prevention have never been higher; this is big news. apnews.com/article/emerge…

Thank you to @guardian for covering the conservative backlash to making emergency contraception more accessible on college campuses. Young people need access to all forms of contraception. Disinformation and fearmongering do not change that. theguardian.com/society/2023/j…

EC is time-sensitive: the sooner you take it, the greater the chance that it will work. Barriers to access ➔ delays in taking it ➔ increased pregnancy risk. It's time to remove barriers to EC for everyone!

$49 is the average price for Plan B One-Step; generics average $35, ranging from $5.18-$54. ➔Clearly, there's a lot of discretion in EC pricing. Affordability is key to equitable access; low-cost EC is possible and the time is NOW!

NEW REPORT: Nearly a decade after OTC approval, equitable access to EC for all is still not a reality americansocietyforec.org/_files/ugd/0cd…

32% adults say they are “unsure” if emergency contraceptive pills are legal in their state, and five percent of adults incorrectly think the pills are illegal in their state. Emergency contraceptives, like “Plan B,” are legal in all 50 states. Learn more. kff.org/womens-health-…

Inaccurate language—which resulted from a 2006 compromise between anti-abortion activists and the FDA—has been removed from emergency contraceptive Plan B. @MsMagazine @amsocforec @URGE_org @PPAdvocacyMA @PPact #PlanB msmagazine.com/2023/01/12/pla…

Check out this article in Ms Magazine about the Plan B Label change! msmagazine.com/2023/01/12/pla…

A holiday miracle for us all - the FDA has finally changed the Plan B One-Step label to remove the suggestion that it prevents implantation of a fertilized egg. This effort has been years in the making! Read more. nyti.ms/3GdpfdE #planb #emergencycontraception

#ThxBirthControl Day is TODAY 🎉🎉🎉 We need *everyone* to come out and share some serious love and gratitude for birth control and everything it has made possible for all of us. Talking about birth control is one of the best ways to keep it accessible and affordable for ALL 👏

@andreademaria @LifeAtPurdue It was fantastic hearing about your work! Excited to spread the word about your innovative model and bring EC vending to more universities around the country.

Excited to speak about our @LifeAtPurdue Pharmacy Vending Machines at today's @amsocforec EC Jamboree. Since Jan '21, we have implemented 8 machines in campus and res buildings, filled w/ OTC items--EC, condoms, preg tests, cold/flu meds, FREE tampons/pads/COVID tests, & more!

@amsocforec EC Jamboree is today! Love seeing all the new updates on EC advocacy, policy and research. I’ve got one cool job! #emergencycontraception #ReproductiveRights #reproductivehealth

One of our exciting presentations today! #ASEC #emergencycontraception #reproductivehealth
