Mifepristone, an abortion pill approved in the U.S. for over 25 years, faces growing efforts by conservatives to enact a nationwide ban.

Wade, have drastically affected women's reproductive rights. Amid rising restrictions, demand for mifepristone and emergency contraception has surged, prompting women to stockpile these medications and seek access through telehealth services as access becomes increasingly uncertain.
