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.
