WNBA signs partnership with Opill [Video]

The Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA) has signed a partnership with Perrigo, the maker of the first-ever over-the-counter birth control pill. 

Just last month, Opill became the first daily oral contraceptive available in the United States without a prescription.

The WNBA has been making headlines in particular last week as superstar Caitlin Clark was selected first overall in the draft. 

The draft this year was open to fans for the first time since 2016, and sold out in 15 minutes. Opill served as an associate partner.
