McCain read by Sen. Same Brownback at the March for Life in WAshington, DC, January 22, 2008 EC in the ER Emergency contraception (EC)has been available for more than 25 years and can prevent over 1.7 million unintended pregnancies and over 800,000 abortions each year in the United States. It is a safe and effective form of contraception, and women who have used it report high levels of satisfaction. Despite its enormous potential, anti-choice groups oppose emergency contraception. In order to hinder women's access to this important method of contraception, they claim that EC is an abortifacient, and they distribute other misinformation about its safety and efficacy.     For additional information about current issues that Planned Parenthood Association of Bucks County is working on, go to www.ppbucks.org
