"Emergency contraceptive pills (ECPs), the most commonly used
method of EC, are ordinary birth control pills that reduce a woman's
chance of becoming pregnant by up to 89% when taken within days of
unprotected sex. Because ECPs are safe, effective and easily self-administered,
they are suitable for over-the-counter (i.e. non-prescription) availability."
