Local pharmacists, schools react to Plan B change
CAPE GIRARDEAU (KFVS)- If you're 15 and have a valid id, you can get the morning after pill without a prescription. It was 17, but the food and drug administration dropped the age Tuesday.
Plan B does not end a pregnancy. It prevents ovulation if taken within 72-hours of having unprotected sex.
Benjamin Tally owns Medicap Pharmacy in Cape Girardeau and refuses to sell the pill.
"Until I'm mandated by law to have to carry it, I have chosen not to carry it," Tally said.
He cities his religious beliefs and moral conscience for reasons he doesn't have it in his store.
Different school leaders across the Heartland say told no changes have been made to the sexual education curriculum. They say that doesn't mean it won't happen and it doesn't mean it will.
