#MORNING AFTER PILL

Poland’s president has vetoed a bill that would make the ‘morning after’ contraceptive pill available without prescription to anyone over the age of 15, the President’s Office announced on Friday. The president’s veto sparked harsh criticism of the ruling coalition, who say they have a “plan B” up their sleeve.

Poland’s health minister has appealed to President Andrzej Duda not to veto a bill that would grant over-the-counter access to the ‘morning after’ contraceptive pill for everyone above the age of 15.
