(FamilyConservationPAC.com) – According to the American Society for Emergency Contraception, at least 39 universities in 17 states have morning-after pill vending machines installed, and at least 20 more are exploring them.
The machines are a part of an effort on college campuses to make emergency contraception affordable, covert, and widely accessible, according to the research, which notes that some states have passed abortion bans.
In contrast, others have strengthened protections and increased access to birth control.
"This year, Washington made history by being the first state to allocate money ($200,000 for $10,000 grants) to public institutions so that they might "expand access to emergency contraceptives…through automatic dispensers," according to the study.
The machine at the University of Washington was installed following a student campaign.
