WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Pentagon for the first time is requiring military bases worldwide to offer emergency contraception or the so-called morning-after pill.
Defense Department spokeswoman Cynthia Smith says the decision follows a recommendation by an independent panel of doctors and pharmacists in November. It said emergency contraception should be added to the military's list of medications that must be stocked at each military facility.
Smith said she did not have additional details about when the implementation would begin.
