By Kathy Schiffer, National Catholic Register - The University of Connecticut has just installed a “Plan B” vending machine in the basement of the Student Union “in an effort to expand access to contraception.” Plan B is a recent development, a form of emergency contraception that is used within 72 hours after having unprotected sex. The University’s Student Health and Wellness Division explains Plan B contraception’s use and effectiveness on its website, claiming, in part, that Plan B is safe and effective, and that it reduces the risk of pregnancy by 89%.
