Demand for emergency contraception and medication abortions has spiked since the Supreme Court ruled that there is no constitutional right to an abortion, and now, retailers are rationing sales of the morning-after pill as people preemptively stock up.

Women have begun purchasing Plan B One-Step in high quantities to stock up in the event that they or other women they know, particularly those in abortion-hostile states, need it. The pill has a long shelf life, about four years, similar to that of Tylenol and Advil. Plan B, also known as the morning-after pill, prevents or delays ovulation, or the release of an egg. It may also prevent a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus when taken within a few days of unprotected sex.
