Emergency Contraception Sales Soar Following Trump's Reelection

Concerns over potential reproductive health restrictions under a second Trump presidency drive women to stockpile contraception and abortion pills.

  • Online retailers report a dramatic increase in sales of emergency contraception, with some companies seeing up to a 1,000% surge in orders.
  • The spike in demand is largely driven by fears that the Trump administration may impose stricter regulations on reproductive health services.
  • Nonprofit organizations like Aid Access experienced a 16-fold increase in requests for abortion pills immediately after the election results were announced.
  • Many women are also seeking long-term contraceptive solutions, such as IUDs, and some are considering sterilization before Trump takes office.
  • Reproductive rights advocates express concerns about potential efforts to restrict access to abortion and contraception, possibly using existing laws like the Comstock Act.
