Plan C exists to spread the word about safe and effective pills for those who miss a period and don’t want to be pregnant: the abortion pill, available over the counter and online all over the world but not in the US. At Plan C, we believe Americans should have the same direct access to this safe technology. We share information and lead grassroots action to make this vision a reality.
