Summary
Following Trump’s election victory, healthcare providers reported a surge in requests for reproductive and gender-affirming medications, including abortion pills and emergency contraception.
Aid Access, the leading U.S. supplier of abortion pills by mail, received over 5,000 requests within 12 hours, a fivefold increase from a typical day.
Telehealth providers like Wisp and Hey Jane reported spikes in requests for emergency contraception, while QueerDoc saw an influx of trans patients seeking guidance on hormone access.
Providers are advising patients to stock up on medication, emphasizing resilience amid uncertainty about potential rollbacks on abortion and trans rights under a second Trump administration.
Don’t get so worked up on other peoples opinions. Shit doesn’t get fixed that way. I voted all blue this year and given the option I would vote to codify a women right to choose. With that said I do not support abortion but I understand there are situations it’s necessary and everything isn’t black and white.
If we educated our children about sex and taught them all the contraceptive options out there abortion rates would drop naturally.
Teaching children about all the contraception options they won’t be able to access in the future seems weird and ineffective.
