The government has recommended for providing free morning-after contraceptive pills to girls as young as 14, also offer them advice by specialists.
The program started in September last year, but it was stopped in January when the Constitutional Court ruled it had been improperly implemented by administrative decree rather than by a presidential decree or legislation.
However, Roman Catholic Church and conservative groups do not welcome the move. They termed the pill a form of abortion and objected to the idea it can be given young girls without notifying their parents.
And have threatened to block distribution of the pill in their towns.
The pill contains a high dose of the most common ingredient in regular birth-control pills. When taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, the two-pill series can lower the risk of pregnancy by up to 89%, however, it will not work on a woman who is already pregnant.
