I bet this will mean alot of states will also be doing this. Better check your state’s web page for Planned Parenthood’s news. This is Planned Parenthood idea of a Christmas gift. Some states don’t even have an age limit due to legislation.
Planned Parenthood will give away “'morning-after pill” on Dec. 8

Advocates of emergency contraception have long urged women to keep the pills on hand at home.
Planned Parenthood of Central Texas will take that campaign even further Dec. 8 by offering the medication for free.
The event, billed as Free EC Day, is something Planned Parenthood affiliates are doing across the nation, said Pat Stone, education director for the local affiliate.
In general, it’s meant to raise awareness about emergency contraception.
But more specifically, it’s to remind women that the medication is now available without a prescription for people ages 18 and older.
“We want to affect understanding of what the rules are and for people to think of us as the counter of choice,” Stone said.
The federal Food and Drug Administration changed the drug’s status in August. It can now be sold to anyone over age 18 without a prescription, but it must be dispensed by licensed pharmacists or by medical professionals at health care clinics
