Plan B6 of the Day: Officials at Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania were asked to explain their decision to offer students access to the emergency contraception pill Plan B through a vending machine inside the school’s health center.
“We had some conversations with them and did a survey of the student body and we got an 85 percent response rate that the students supported Plan B in the House Center,” said Ship’s Vice president of Student Affairs, Dr. Roger Serr.
One dose of the so-called “morning-after pill,” which can legally be purchased over-the-counter by individuals 17 or older, will set students back $25. The university says it uses money made from sales to purchase more pills. Some 350 to 400 doses are sold each year.
“The vending machine is just a way to dispense it,” said Dr. Serr. “It’s provided, it’s not necessarily promoted on a large scale.”
Love it. Every pharmacy and grocery store should have one of these vending machines.

This is so beautiful.
Yeah but what about when you put your 25 dollars in and the fucking pills get stuck and don’t drop to the bottom? It happens to chips all the time.
Now you have to go around looking for employees and cause a fuss to get your Plan B pills out of the machine. Then like 5-6 other niggas who just wanna buy a Twix and soda will be huddled around the vending machine waiting while someone gets your pills for you.
Everyone’s gonna be thinking, “she got nutted in last night”
