Emergency Contraception: mixed results
Since January 2002, Health Insurance facilitates access by underage women to the morning after pill. Pharmacists and school nurses can deliver it for free and anonymously. This provision aims to prevent later use of medical or surgical abortion.
Among the medications available, and NorLevo EllaOne® are now counter in pharmacies (and issued free of charge and anonymous to minors).
Note, regardless of the chosen molecule, the more it is taken early, more effective it will be.
According to monitoring by the Health Insurance, minor would received information from free device. In August 2002, 74% of abortion pills boxes issued were for minor against only 2% in January 2002. However, according to the Information Center - abortion Ile de France, "few pharmacists deliver the pill free either. because they lack information about it, the law is very recent, or because they disagree with the approach. Some fear that this measure encourages minors to be less vigilant and to take the morning after pill as a contraceptive normal ". Thus, some pharmacies often continue to charge the drug while minor can get it for free.
Recall that the morning after pill does not protect against the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS and hepatitis B.Each year, 6,000 abortions among minors
For minor, abortion raises more questions. "They come to us to be counseled about the centers performing abortions, but also for listening carefully respecting their anonymity," says one at St Denis Planning Center (93). The parental consent, often difficult to ask, is no longer mandatory for minor since May 2002. Young women may therefore decide only to terminate their pregnancies. However, they must appeal to a mentor who will support them throughout the process. This person, a major, can be a relative, (e) ami (e), a member of an association. But the ideal is of course to collect from parents written authorization to practice abortion.
As the major, non-emancipated minor have a period of 12 weeks to make an abortion. After the first medical consultation, young women are required to undergo a social consultation. They are then referred to a health facility, public or private. "However, some hospitals do not apply the new measures. They do not always accept the request of a minor without parental consent, because of the potential risks associated with general anesthesia" deplores a counselor of St Denis Planning.
When the agreement is given, the state guarantees the anonymity and support costs related to the operation: up to 80% for cases where parental consent was given, 100% for only minor and beneficiaries of the Universal Health Coverage.Inform minor first!
Inform remains a priority. Surveys reveal that 3 rd class, two thirds of young girls think that the first reports are not fertile, and three-quarters are convinced that it is impossible to get pregnant when you have a report for the rules! Results that do not support recent information campaigns on contraception.
The National Education conducted prevention campaigns and Planning Centres multiply interventions in colleges (3rd class) and high schools. Contraception is free, accessible free of charge and without age requirement in the planning centers.
Regarding abortion of the young woman, the lack of knowledge is even more flagrant 2. The girls are scared, delaying the first consultation and therefore more late intervention than other women. Late abortion also carries more risk. Finally, a young age at first pregnancy is correlated with repeated use of this procedure.
The best way to avoid it is to use effective contraception at first intercourse. The best solution is to go for the duo: condom and pill can protect you from sexually transmitted infections and unwanted pregnancy.
