Why is she taking?: A 12 year old girl who has been having menstrual periods would not be harmed by taking a morning after pill, but the real question is, why would she need to take one? If she has been having periods and was raped, then a doctor or nurse would recommend that she take the pill to prevent pregnancy. 12 year old girls cannot legally consent to have sex, so if she has had intercourse, it was rape.
