In San Francisco, birth control pills are legal for both minors (under 18 years old) and adults. Minors do not need parental permission to obtain birth control. | |||
While you do need a prescription for birth control, this prescription can be obtained at a pharmacy. Unlike many other US states, which require that you actually visit a physician for a prescription, California (as of April 2016) does not require that you visit a physician for self-administered hormonal contraception, which includes patches, pills and vaginal rings. For birth control that requires a physician, like IUDs, you will still need to visit a doctor. | |||
