Why Would We Keep the MAP Out of Reach?
There are many points against having the MAP available without a prescription: it promotes promiscuity, encourages unprotected sex, and will increase sexually transmitted disease rates in younger women… We might assume.
One could say that having something available that would prevent pregnancy after engaging in unprotected sex would encourage younger women to have unprotected sex, because there’s no real risk of pregnancy if the pill is at hand.
For starters, the Morning After Pill is only 80% effective and so it isn’t a reliable birth control method. A study on the morning after pill proved that it doesn’t encourage unprotected sex at all.
