the morning after pill is available at the pharmacy for anyone over the age of 18. It is most effective when taken within 24 hours of "the incident" as you put it......

The Morning After pill is now Behind the Counter. You can buy it at your regular pharmacy as long as a pharmacist is present.
You need to take it within 72 hours of the accident.
It's rather expensive, for a OTC/BTC at $40.

it is now a over the counter RX in arizona at least, i think it cost in the neighborhood of $20-$30 bucks and it must be taken within 48 hours of un protected sex. after that point you have to know if you are pregnant or not but you can also have a medical abortion by pill that will do the same thing just alot later in the game. good luck
