In this article, Cecile Richards writes about emergency contraception, also known as Plan B. She first clears up the misunderstandings about the contraceptive by explaining that it is not an abortion pill but a contraceptive that prevents fertilization to happen in the first place. She then goes on to comment on the need to increase availability of the contraceptive. The contraceptive is only effective within a small window of time, meaning that women should be able attain it quickly. With that in mind, she argues that Plan B should be a over-the-counter drug. She also mentions the importance on making it available to women of all ages.
The author's purpose is to clear up a few misconceptions about Plan B and to convince her audience that the contraceptive should be made available to women of all ages.
