People concerned about potential new abortion restrictions appear to be more likely to request abortion pills even if they're not yet pregnant, according to a new analysis.
Abigail Aiken, a public affairs professor at the University of Texas at Austin, examined data from more than 48,000 requests from people seeking the pills for potential future use — a practice known as advance provision — through Aid Access. The organization based in Europe provides medication abortion to U.S.-based patients through telemedicine and the mail, at a cost of $150.
