Wales began a controversial new policy today that allows pharmacists to dispense the morning-after pill for free to girls as young as 13. The teens won't need a doctor's prescription or their parents' permission. It's part of a plan to cut down on teen pregnancy among Welsh girls, who have some of the highest rates in Europe, reports AP. The new rules allow women of all ages to get the pill without a prescription, but the part about giving it to teens under the age of consent (16) is drawing the most attention.
