My local news covered a story this week about a Pennsylvania college, Shippensburg University, that recently made Plan B (the "morning after pill") available to students through vending machines on campus.
The Vice President of Student Affairs for the university said the decision was made after discussions with the student body. He said the intent was to take some of the discomfort and embarrassment out of purchasing this emergency contraceptive.
The morning after pill is available without a prescription. The university purchases and sells the pill for $25, forgoing a profit.
It's Feedback Friday...
What do you think of Plan B being offered through convenient vending machines on college campuses?
Is this university forward thinking or irresponsible?
