But now there’s another option for emergency contraception if you want to get it for free or without an appointment. Missouri Family Health Council and the St. Louis County Department of Health have stepped up to help get free emergency contraceptive kits to you in person and in the mail.
“In March, I signed an executive order committing St. Louis County to the reproductive and sexual health services it currently provides while working to expand services in an equitable way to address health and racial disparities,” County Executive Dr. Sam Page said. “Making emergency contraception free and accessible is a responsible public health decision. Thank you to the Missouri Family Health Council for making this possible.”
Sam Page, still looking out for the well being of people in STL. I didn’t know much about him before COVID and how he dealt with all of the anti-mask / antivax assholes, but every time I hear about something he’s done it’s been good for the community.
Also, obligatory: fuck christo-fascists.
Left Bank Books continues to be awesome and has emergency contraceptives and condoms available for free as well.
