Not 2 Late.com - The Emergency Contraception Website
Developed by the Office of Population Research, Princeton University and the Association of Reproductive Health Professionals, this website provides medically accurate, up to date information about emergency contraception (sometimes known as "the morning after pill"). The website provides a database, searchable by country, of oral contraceptive pills that can be used for emergency contraception and provides information about the difference between medication abortion and emergency contraception. An Arabic version of the website was created in collaboration with Ibis Reproductive Health.
The Medication Abortion Website
This site is designed to provide accurate information about medication abortion to health service providers including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, counselors, and office staff. Educational information is also provided for women considering the option of medication abortion. Available in Arabic, Burmese, English, French, Persian, Spanish, and Turkish, the website was launched in 2003 by Ibis Reproductive Health.
