Here, contraception is prescribed by a doctor, but is free of a prescription charge. I get my contraceptive implant free every three years, but pay just over £14 a month to get my anti-deoressants and acid reflux medication.

You can buy unprescribed "morning after" pills over the counter, after a consultation with a pharmacist (who asks questions about protection, chlamydia, AIDs etc) That's comparitively expensive though - £25 last I knew. It's free from sexual health clinics and in certain pharmacies, depending on region and age. Again, the same sexual health questions will be asked.

But no, that's anti-religion here in the land of the free, home of the brave.

Said it before will say it again. America is so full of contradictions. We have a State religion, of which the Queen is Defender. We have far more freedom not to have a religion than you do.
