Morning-after pill 'should be given over the counter'
Currently, women have to see a GP or visit a family planning clinic if they want emergency contraception, also known as the morning-after pill, which has been deregulated in other European countries.
The CPA also wants general contraceptives to be made available free of charge in a bid to reduce the number of crisis pregnancies. The agency made its case as new research showed a high level of sexual risk-taking among 18 to 25-year-olds.
