In the wake of the election results, a wave of concern has led women across the country to stockpile abortion pills, fearing imminent restrictions under the newly elected Trump administration. The message is clear: many view this outcome as a “very real” threat to reproductive rights. The data is striking. Aid Access reported a surge of 10,000 requests for abortion pills in just 24 hours after the election outcome was declared—an unprecedented 17 times the usual demand. At Just the Pill , orders from individuals who aren’t even pregnant have increased, signaling a deep-seated anxiety about access in the near future. Plan C ’s website saw traffic explode to over 82,000 visitors the day after the election—20 times its typical visitor count. “People understand that the threat is dire and immediate,” said Brittany Fonteno, president of the National Abortion Federation. The public’s reaction underscores the gravity of the election results for reproductive rights in America.
