The Daily PollPoll: Should women with medical cards be able to get the morning after pill free without a GP visit?
Pharmacists think they should…
PHARMACISTS TODAY CALLED for the morning after pill to be available free to women who have medical cards directly over the counter at a pharmacy.

We want to know what you think: Should women with medical cards be able to get the morning after pill without a GP visit?
