Women have been told not to panic as the website of the leading mail-order abortion pill provider in the US has crashed in the hours after Donald Trump’s election victory as Americans rushed to stock up on medication.
Dr Rebecca Gomperts, founder of Aid Access, told The Independent the platform received 10,000 requests for medication for terminations in the 24 hours after Trump’s win – almost 15 times more than the 600 or so requests they tend to get per day.
