A new controversial vending machine has popped up on the campus of Shippensburg University in central Pennsylvania. This vending machine doesn’t house your ordinary snacks. Students can now get the “morning-after” pill for a mere $25 from the new vending machine installed at the request of the student government.
The machine itself is located at the Etter Health Center. In addition to the Plan B One Step emergency contraceptives they also provide condoms, decongestants and pregnancy tests.
