Morning-after pill vending machines gain popularity on college campuses post-Roe -
Since last November, a library at the University of Washington has featured a different kind of vending machine, one that’s become more popular on campuses around the country since the U.S. Supreme Court ended constitutional protections for abortion last year. It’s stocked with ibuprofen, pregnancy tests and the morning-after pill.
Washington this year became first U.S. state to set aside money - $200,000 to fund $10,000 grants that colleges can obtain next year through an application process - to expand access to emergency contraceptives at public universities and technical colleges through the automatic dispensers. In Illinois and New York, lawmakers are developing legislation that would require at least one vending machine selling emergency contraceptives on state college campuses.
The machines can’t be placed in K-12 schools or exposed to the elements, and they must have temperature and humidity controls and include plans for power outages and expired items.
