Debate Grows Over the Availability of Plan B Amid Changing Attitudes Toward Sexual Health
In Singapore, access to the morning-after pill is not as straightforward as in other countries. Unlike some nations where emergency contraception is available over the counter, obtaining the pill in Singapore requires a doctor’s prescription, placing a barrier for those seeking immediate access.
As conversations surrounding sex and sexual health become more open, particularly among younger generations, there is a growing debate about whether the current system should be revised. Some people believe that maintaining the prescription requirement is necessary to regulate its use, while others argue that more accessible options would empower individuals, reducing the stigma and anxiety associated with obtaining emergency contraception.
As public attitudes evolve, the question remains: Should Singapore reconsider its regulations regarding the morning-after pill?
