Morning-After Pill Available for Free by Phone in UK

In preparation for the holiday season when health services may be closed, the British Pregnancy Advisory Service (BPAS) have implemented a new service which allows women to order the morning after pill, for free, over the telephone.

The BPAS believes this will help prevent unwanted pregnancies and/or abortions during the festive season by removing the potentially embarrassing face-to-face contact women must go through when asking for the pill in public.

This precautionary measure taken by the BPAS has been criticized by the pro-life charity 'life', who believe it encourages risky behaviour and bad decisions.
