You need a prescription from a doctor or nurse practitioner for birth control pills, but i think just recently you can get Plan B over the counter if you are 18, in california. The morning after pill, or Plan B, is only for when your current form of birth control fails (you miss a pill, condom breaks/slips) NOT for every day birth control use. Only for emergency use. You can get a prescription from your local planned parenthood or health clinic, no matter your age.
BTW, for you pro-lifers out there, Plan B doesn't make you abort of miscarry, it prevents you from ovulating. If you have already ovulated this cycle, you are screwed and Plan B won't work.

My understanding is you need a prescription for the birth control pill, but anyone over 18 can get emergency contraception (morning after pill) without one. If there's a Planned Parenthood clinic near you, give them a call.

In California pharmacies have the morning after pills and you do not need a prescription and I found that the best form of birth control is depo provera which is a shot that you get every three months.

For birth control you have to go to a gynecologist and get a pap done before they will give you a prescription. The morning after I think you can now get at a drug store but you have to be over the age of 18 I think.

I am pro-life. I think the morning after pill is completely wrong! If you don't want kids then use condoms and talk to your Dr. about using birth control.

You should be able to get both of them from your local planned parenthood.
