More Americans are stockpiling abortion pills without pregnancy – study

More Americans are now stockpiling abortion pills in case they get pregnant, according to new research published Tuesday.

Before Roe v Wade was overturned in June 2022, Aid Access, an organization that mails abortion pills to people across the US, received an average of 25 requests a day from people seeking the pills despite not being pregnant. After the leak of the supreme court decision to overturn Roe, that average shot up to 247 requests each day, the research published on Tuesday found.
