Adults in Arizona can now obtain contraceptive medications over the counter at a pharmacy without a doctor's prescription under a governor's order announced Thursday.
Gov. Katie Hobbs said the rule will go into effect immediately. It applies to self-administered birth control such as hormonal and oral contraceptives, and patients 18 or older need only complete a screening and a blood pressure test.
"We are building an Arizona for everyone, which means ensuring people across the state have what they need to live a free and healthy life," the Democratic governor said in a statement.

86% of fentanyl is brought across the border by legal citizens. This is a step in the right direction in Arizona.

1SG (Join to see) , the drug epidemic was created in or around 2005 after the Crack Cocaine epidemic from the mid 80's to the late 90's. The drugs were being laced with fentanyl, but the delivering drug dealers in other countries started lacing the heroin prior to delivery for potency, then the fools in the US were adding more fentanyl, not knowing that it was already added. So we has mass deaths every day, but NO One spoke up until it started hitting the Suburbs, now it's a freight train out of control.

I've lived in Arizona for the last 8 years Lt Col Charlie Brown. The biggest problem in this state is not contraceptives or the ability to get them, it's Fentanyl pills coming over the border.

Thinking ahead PO1 William "Chip" Nagel . Much like the military. We hope we never need to fight but if we do, we already have been trained. If there was no protective activity, there is Plan B.
