absolutely! If you take the pill as directed it is 99% effective.

If you frequently skip days, however, the effectiveness drops to 80%

If you don't think you are able to remember to take a pill at the same time every day there are also Depo shot, IUD implants available as well as the NuvaRing and the Patch.

If you take the morning after pill and contiue to take the birth control pill is the birth control still effective for the rest of the month?

If you had missed a pill or been late with a pill, causing you to take the morning after pill, then you should use a back up method of birth control for the next seven days. If you didn't forget a pill or take a pill late, then I'm not sure why you took the morning after pill, but the birth control pill will still be effective even though you took the morning after pill. The morning after pill doesn't make the birth control pill less effective.
