The article offers observations on successful pharmacy access models for the distribution of emergency contraception, or the morning-after pill. Hawaii recently became the fifth state to make emergency contraception, available directly from pharmacists. When taken within days after unprotected sex, emergency contraception can reduce the risk of pregnancy. Emergency contraception has the potential to transform women's lives by giving them a second chance to prevent an unwanted pregnancy. The hesitance of pharmaceutical companies to take up innovative products that could change women's lives is not limited to emergency contraception.
