Demand for Contraceptives and Abortion Pills Surges Following Trump Election Victory

Fears over potential restrictions on reproductive healthcare drive women to seek long-term birth control, permanent sterilization, and stockpile emergency contraception.

Doctors and health clinics nationwide report a sharp increase in requests for IUDs, tubal ligations, and vasectomies following Donald Trump's re-election as president.
Companies selling emergency contraception and abortion pills have seen sales skyrocket, with some reporting increases of over 900% in the days after the election.
Planned Parenthood has experienced significant growth in appointments for long-acting reversible contraceptives, with some regions reporting increases of over 700%.
Concerns about potential restrictions on reproductive healthcare, including access to contraception and abortion pills, are driving the surge in demand.
Experts note parallels to similar spikes in contraceptive use after the 2016 election and the overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022, but say fears appear to be heightened this time.
