People are panic buying Plan B after Trump's win-and Amazon sellers are raising the pills' price
Briefly

"[The Trump administration] will seek to stop the availability of medication abortion by mail, which has been a lifeline in post-Roe America," said Nancy Northup, Center for Reproductive Rights CEO. "It will attempt to gag all organizations... from advocating for abortion law reform or providing abortion care abroad.... It will push policies designed to disempower reproductive and human rights organizations while aiding their anti-rights counterparts."
Many are making the call to stock up on alternatives, including morning-after pills such as Plan B, which prevent a pregnancy from occurring in the first place. But just as demand has surged for those products, so have prices.
Around election time, a six-pack of My Way levonorgestrel tablets suddenly jumped in price from around $26 to nearly $40 - a 53% increase. The price has since dropped slightly, to around $35, but that's still 35% higher than it was just a week or so ago.
Opting to stock up on Plan B has become a priority for many, reacting to fears of diminishing access to reproductive healthcare under a Trump administration, triggering a spike in prices.
