'The threat is dire': Abortion pill orders skyrocket after Trump elected

Women are reportedly stockpiling abortion pills ahead of a second Trump administration, with the head of one provider noting they feel he poses a "very real" threat.

Aid Access received 10,000 requests for the pill in the 24 hours after Donald Trump was projected as the winner, The Washington Post reported Monday. That is about 17 times more requests than the organization usually receives.

Another organization called Just the Pill said now receiving orders for abortion drugs from people who aren't pregnant — a "rarity," Julie Amaon, the nonprofit's interim executive director, told the Post.

Plan C, meanwhile, said it received more than 82,000 visitors the day after Trump was called as the winner — 20 times higher than normal.

“People understand that the threat is very real and the threat is dire to abortion access under a Trump administration,” Brittany Fonteno, president of the National Abortion Federation, told the Post. “And so I think that people feel extremely, understandably concerned about their ability to get the care that they need.”

Trump's campaign has pushed back on attacks from Democrats that he plans to pass a national abortion ban.

Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Trump’s transition team, told the Post on Monday that Trump "has long been consistent in supporting the rights of states to make decisions on abortion."

Trump's stance on abortion has been inconsistent and evolved over time.

In April, Trump said abortion should be left up to states to decide. In August, Trump said he would vote against a Florida ballot measure that sought to repeal a six-week abortion ban. And then in October, he said: "Everyone knows I would not support a federal abortion ban, under any circumstances, and would, in fact, veto it because it is up to the states to decide."
