As President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration approaches, sales of abortion pills are skyrocketing. This surge in women “stockpiling” is driven by fears of tighter restrictions on abortion rights.

According to The Washington Post on Monday, Aid Access, America’s largest abortion pill supplier, reported receiving up to 10,000 orders per day since the election. This is more than 16 times the average daily order volume (600) before the election.

Notably, a substantial portion of these orders comes from women who are not currently pregnant, indicating a trend of “preemptive purchasing.”

Just The Pill, a nonprofit organization that provides abortion medication via telemedicine, reported that 22 out of 125 orders received between November 6 and 8 were from non-pregnant women. The organization described this as an unprecedented phenomenon.

Plan C, a website providing information on abortion pills, experienced its daily visitors increase to 82,200 after the election, more than 20 times the pre-election figure of 4,000. Inquiries about contraceptive procedures such as vasectomies and IUD insertions have also spiked.

This trend stems from concerns about potential restrictions on abortion rights under the Trump administration. During Trump’s first term, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, which had recognized abortion as a constitutional right since 1973.

Brittany Fonteno, president of the National Abortion Federation, stated that while the specific policy direction of a potential second Trump administration remains unclear, many women are taking preemptive action in anticipation of increased difficulties in accessing abortion services.

With Republicans holding majorities in both the House and Senate, there are also concerns about the possibility of federal legislation banning abortion.
