University Vending Machine Offers Plan B - Do you think this is right?

University Vending Machine Offers Plan B
Shippensburg University students can buy the morning-after pill from a vending machine at the campus health center, officials at the Pennsylvania school say. After a 2008 student-interest survey showed overwhelming support for the idea, the school installed a vending machine that offers Plan B contraceptive pills alongside other items such as cough drops, pregnancy tests and condoms. The machine, located at the end of a long, quiet hallway, offers the emergency contraceptive for $25, separate from the annual student health fees of $150. Officials said children under 17 won’t have access to the machine.
