Abstract

"this just in" piece on LD 1152, which makes it legal for doctors and pharmacies in Maine to enter into standing agreements to dispense emergency contraceptives within 72 hours of a contraceptive failure. Maine is the sixth state in the country, and the first in the East, to enact such a measure. The federal Food and Drug Administration has refused to make emergency contraception available without a prescription.
