The best solution to unplanned pregnancy is
prevention. You have up to 5 days to take Emergency
Contraception (EC) pills after unprotected sex. EC
reduces the risk of pregnancy by 75-89%. That’s a lot!
Remember, it can keep you from getting pregnant, it
does not abort a fetus. This is not an abortion pill!
For more information about EC visit www.not-2-late.com. You can also
talk to a health professional at Salud Para La Gente
in Watsonville (728-0222) or at a Planned Parenthood
near you. Don’t forget that in California, you can go
to your local pharmacy and they can help you out.
If your clock is ticking, don’t miss the opportunity
for a second chance at preventing pregnancy.
