* In Georgia, you can obtain '''emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills)''' over-the-counter at pharmacies. No prescription is needed. To access ECPs, you will need to request them for purchase at a pharmacy since they are not on the shelves.

* You can also get an '''intrauterine device (IUD)''' to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex. However, this requires a special insertion procedure, so will probably take more time to obtain than finding dedicated ECPs at a pharmacy. | * You can also get an '''intrauterine device (IUD)''' to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex.
