| Popis: | This article provides a summary of contraceptive use and the problem with unintended pregnancies in the United States as well as states the views of the American Medical Womens Association (AMWA) on emergency contraception. AMWA strongly supports the position that educational programs addressing the consequences of unprotected sex should be available and recommended to girls and women and that all girls and women should have recourse to emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs) after unprotected sexual intercourse. |
