Confusion over abortion rights in Florida

There’s a growing concern among Florida’s healthcare providers that women are hesitant or confused about accessing the reproductive care available to them.

According to the American Medical Association (AMA), restrictions around abortion are limiting the use of the morning after pill. The morning after pill, also know as Plan B, remains legal and safe.

In the last two years, use of prescription emergency contraception fell by 60% in states like Florida that have near-total abortion bans.

“Regardless of where you live across all 50 states, the morning after pill is safe and legal. But the confusion is so rampant,” said Cynthia Plotch, co-founder of Winx Health, the Gen-Z sexual and vaginal wellness brand.
