Reply to comment by furbylicious in Billboards advise on how to get abortion pills in US states where procedure is banned | Abortion by BigClitMcphee

If you or a partner are capable of getting pregnant, familiarize yourself with where to get Plan B near you before you need it, especially if you’ll want to find the most discreet place without the time pressure. For instance, my university’s student union has a medicine vending machine that has plan B in it.

Edit: and be aware that above a certain weight/BMI cutoff it will be less effective. I believe I’ve heard that some brands work better for bigger folks, but that is 100% hearsay so please fact check me and have a plan for what med you should look out for before you ever need to.

Another thing I want to point out is to spread this information! A lot of the dangers and heartache of unexpected pregnancy can be avoided with preparation and timely action. Many people simply don't know emergency contraception like Plan B is an option, and they don't know how to talk about pregnancy or abortion. And that often falls on families.

Parents, your kids should be *comfortable* telling you if they are worried they might be pregnant. Whatever your house rules on sexuality may be, your kid should prioritize getting help from you over worrying about having fucked up. Talk to your kids about this stuff, it will keep them safer.
