In the state of Illinois, you can easily buy condoms and there are no age restrictions. If you want birth control pills, you need a prescription to obtain birth control pills. If you're a minor (under 18 years old), you can get a prescription for the following reasons: if you're married, if you're a parent, if you have health reasons requiring birth control or if you received a referral from a professional (like a doctor). In all other cases, minors must receive permission from their parents to get a birth control pill prescription. | In the state of Illinois, you can easily buy condoms and there are no age restrictions.
