Women of all ages in California will be one pharmaceutical visit away from obtaining any form of non-surgically inserted birth control.

The new legislation will require women of no minimum age to visit a pharmacist who will measure blood pressure and have the patient fill out a questionnaire to ensure that birth control is a safe option.

Any form of the contraception with the exception of devices that must be inserted by a healthcare provider — such as arm implants and intrauterine devices — will all be available to qualifying patients.
