Trying to find the "Morning After" pill in rural Ohio

Via Boingboing:

Ohio woman tries desperately to find emergency contraception within 72-hour window.

Here is a woman who is the mother of three children, and doesn't want more. She can't use hormonal birth control, has had cervix surgery so she can't be fitted for a diaphragm or other IUD, and her SO is ineligable for insurance-covered vasectomy surgery for another year. Their condom broke. She could not find a hospital or clinic within a hundred miles that would give her emergency contraception.

Her only other option past that point would be to have an abortion. If we, as a society, want fewer abortions -- and I think it's pretty safe to say we all do -- this kind of shit has got to stop.

Have you donated to Planned Parenthood recently? Think about it.
