The share of American women who say they have ever used emergency contraception after having sex has more than doubled since the so-called “morning after” or Plan B brand pills were approved to be sold without a prescription, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Thursday.
The increase is among dozens of trends tracked in two reports now released from the CDC’s National Survey of Family Growth, examining survey results through 2019 on sex and birth control among teens as well as all women ages 15 to 44 years old.
Among teens and adult women who have had sex, 26.6% told CDC’s survey through 2019 that they have ever turned to the emergency contraception pills, up from 10.8% in a previous round of the survey from 2006 through 2010.
Among female teens who have had sex, 22.3% said they had ever used emergency contraception, up from 13.7% through 2010.

Gov: “Why the hell is the population DECLINING???”
Those are almost all the acts of private business, not government. Government’s failing is not stepping in to balance the scales and make things easier.
Unchecked/under-regulated private business leading to this is government caused as far as I’m concerned.
Government isn’t very good at proactive legislation. All the bureaucracy and regulation is written in blood, as they say.
You think there’s a difference?
Tell me, who do you think runs the government? 😂
It turns out you can’t fix population decline with forced birth.
