I've been on a course (yes me!) so I can "prescribe" free of charge the morning after pill for any woman who qualifies for it. I'm not against it on religious grounds or anything like that, but it's got me thinking that giving it to people free is not a good idea. My concerns are: -
1. If you have to pay over £20 for it, you might think about using contraception the next time to save your money.
2. Will young men "push" young women into having sex as they can just say "it's ok, you can get the morning after pill free from the pharmacy in the morning".
3. Will women who have occasional sexual partners use this as contraception instead of using proper regular contraception.
4. Will women lie and say they have never had it, when they got it from another pharmacy last month.
Does anyone else have such concerns? If so how do you get around them?
Thanks
