Many are taking steps to safeguard their reproductive autonomy, from stockpiling abortion pills to requesting permanent sterilization. Now major retailers are rationing the sales of over-the-counter emergency contraception in response to increased demand

Wade — and Justice Clarence Thomas arguing in a concurring opinion that the court “should reconsider” prior rulings about contraception access — many people are taking steps to safeguard their reproductive autonomy, from stockpiling abortion pills to requesting permanent sterilization.
According to The Wall Street Journal, CVS, Walmart, and Rite Aid are imposing purchase limits on morning-after pills, which were out of stock or in short supply on the three retailers’ websites as of Monday. Morning-after pills are backup methods to birth control that are taken orally; they prevent pregnancy by delaying ovulation or preventing fertilized eggs from attaching to the uterus. The pills don’t work if a fertilized egg is already implanted.
Both CVS and Rite Aid are, at least temporarily, limiting purchases of morning-after pills to three units. Walmart has implemented limits of four or six, and while some pills are available at Walmart without purchase limits, those won’t ship for another month.
