A Women’s Rights Petition: IHS: Stop Blocking Native Women’s Access to Emergency Contraception! In the US, women age 17 and over have the legal right to get emergency contraception — sometimes called Plan B or “the morning after pill — over the counter and without a prescription at their pharmacy. But not, it seems, if you’re Native like me. I live on a reservation in South Dakota and when I went to get emergency contraception, the IHS workers told me I’d need to drive to a clinic over an hour away. I don’t have a car and neither do many people on the rez.
