Not exactly a holiday, but Back Up Your Birth Control Day is a damn good time to raise awareness about emergency contraception (EC).

At a time when EC availability is so tenuous—with these bullshit conscience clause laws and Bush’s overall rollback of repro rights—we need to ensure that this safe, effective method of back-up birth control is fought for.

This year especially, with the FDA still stalling on making EC available over-the-counter, we need to take action.

Some things you can do:

Encourage your local pharmacy to stock EC – send thank you letters to those who do and let those that don’t know that they’ll lose your business.

Create a resource guide for your community, listing area pharmacies that stock EC.
