Access to over-the-counter contraception will be available soon to women in Arizona. On Thursday the Department of Health approved a standing order which will be used by pharmacies instead of a prescription.
The announcement comes as anti-abortion groups across the country rachet up the pressure to limit access to contraception in the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court striking down Roe v. Wade.

Pharmacists will need to be trained and patients will need to fill out a questionnaire and have their blood pressure taken.
