A group of students at Boston University has brought a vending machine to campus that dispenses Plan B at a lower cost for students, NBC Boston reported.

Plan B, also known as the morning-after pill, is a form emergency contraception that can prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or when another birth control method might’ve failed.

The vending machine, one of the first of its kind in the country, is located in the basement of the student union on Boston University's campus, NBC Boston reported. Instead of snacks, the machine is stocked with a generic version of Plan B (levonorgestrel) sold for $7.25 and accepts all major credit cards, according to BU Today, Boston University's daily news site.

Efforts to install the machine were led by a Planned Parenthood-affiliated group called Students for Reproductive Freedom, who were inspired by a similar vending machine at Brandeis University, a spokesperson told NBC Boston.

Students can also access emergency contraception through the university's student health services, which financially sponsors Students for Reproductive Freedom and orders the contraception for the machine, BU Today reported.

“We just wanted something that was low cost and easy to access. You don’t need to take a train across town. You don’t need to call a doctor. It’s right there, and you can get it as soon as you need it,” Charlotte Beatty, former co-president of the group, told NBC Boston. Since March, the machine has sold over 1,000 emergency contraception pills.

That's using to ol' bean. I here you can get preggers just by walking down the street in Boston. Probably smart to put a dispenser in men's restrooms as well.

Its a fundamental human right for guys to have unlimited access to sluts.

And all the girls filmed using the vending machine will be highlighted on the School Website Easypickings.edu right?

Why would they need all that in deep blue Massachusetts?

I predict additional business for fertility physicians in the future as well as more birth defects.

“Students can also access emergency contraception...”

Emergency contraception.

Idiocy and illiteracy abound.

Its a fundamental human right for guys to have unlimited access to sluts.

That might be a good tag line...for you.

You have nailed it! Those sluts may not be giving birth but they are releasing STDs.

Send off your 18-year-old daughter for 60k a year to Boston University so she can be sexual fodder for the upperclassman to feast on.

Satan will find a way to help his slaves murder their babies.

One tube of krazy glue will disable the abortifacient dispensing machine in 10 seconds

You just know there's some blood-thirsty terrorist out there waiting to get at one of these machines.

So I am curious as to why you feel it is appropriate to call young women sluts because this vending machine has been emplaced at the university. I assume that you jonrick46 never had sex outside of your marriage, that you were a virgin when you married. And you seem to be painting all the young women at the university with a very broad brush.

Boston University, nuff said...

I am laughing with you at your inside joke of distaste. You probably remember vending machines dispensing Trojans for 50 cents. I think rather than dispensing Morning After Pills, they should return those Trojan machines. They would provide protection from pregnancy as well as STDs. Statistics reveal that the increased sexual activity with no condom protection has caused an increase in the incidence of SIDs:
