Uber for birth control

It’s a telemedicine app that seems rather innocuous — enter your info, have it reviewed by a physician, and get a prescription. The California-based company behind it has raised millions to support its mission of expanding access to the pill, ring, or morning-after pill with minimal hurdles.

But that last option is now starting to attract pushback from anti-abortion activists, who consider the morning-after pill equivalent to abortion — and who say lax telemedicine laws are enabling access to this drug with insufficient oversight.

Nurx,[The easiest way to get on birth control or PrEP]an app that’s been called the “Uber for birth control,” lets patients obtain a variety of contraceptives from the touch of a smartphone; it also gives women access to Plan B and Ella, two forms of the morning-after pill, which is effective in preventing a pregnancy after sex. Women can order these drugs in a few easy steps: answer a series of health questions; provide basic demographic information; and choose a preferred drug. A doctor then reviews the patient’s information, writes a prescription, and the drug is delivered to either the patient’s home or her local pharmacy.

и в результате, практически минздрав.ру:
... activists in some conservative states are pressing lawmakers to more tightly regulate emergency contraception prescribed by app...
The Guttmacher Institute has found that at least nine states have adopted restrictions to make it harder for residents to obtain emergency contraceptives, from excluding the drug from contraception coverage mandates to giving pharmacists the right to not dispense contraceptives.

ну, и дальше: с чего начинается родина
