While there were some silver linings to the choice this week, like female candidates from all over the country celebrated victories and reproductive rights have been enshrined in several state constitutionsit’s the fear of what’s next for nationwide abortion access that has many women eagerly buying the morning-after pill.

In the last 48 hours, the morning after pill has become a trending term on Google, increasing in searches by 130%. “Across the country, women have voted for reproductive care and access,” says Amanda E/J Morrison, co-founder of contraceptive brand Julie. Vogue by e-mail. “For fear of withdrawal, they make sure they can manage their reproductive health, and using emergency contraceptives (EC) is one way to do this. EC does not terminate a pregnancy, it prevents it.” Whether marketed as Julie, Plan B One Step, Restart, Next Choice One Dose or Preventeza, the pill, which is legal in all 50 states, is used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex or if contraception fails. (As Morrison points out, it is different from abortion pill, and cannot be used to interrupt a task.)

On November 5 and 6, the sexual and reproductive telehealth company whisper saw a 930 percent increase in sales of emergency contraceptives in Texas, followed by 730 percent in Indiana and 133 percent in Oklahoma — all states where it is very difficult to obtain an abortion. Morrison also saw an increase in Julie’s sales on Amazon.

Jessica*, who lives in Texas with her husband and child, has bought six boxes of Plan B since Trump became president-elect two days ago. “I’ve had three miscarriages, which means I’m more likely to miscarry than have a live birth,” she says over the phone. Because she can’t use hormonal birth control, Jessica keeps an emergency contraceptive on hand in case other methods fail. “I wanted all these pregnancies, but I had to have a D&C (dilation and curettage) and abort via the pill at home. Because of these experiences, in addition to being a parent, I would never wish an unwanted pregnancy on anyone.”

Women also share their experiences on social media. Yesterday, TikTok user @_brynn_182 talked about purchasing both EC and a pregnancy test. “You could be someone like me, on birth control, without dating anyone,” she says. “But that’s for emergencies…I live in Oklahoma and I can’t get an abortion very easily if my life depends on it or if I want to.” She goes into the details of the price—for her, under $100—and suggests using cash, because “I think that money is safer in the long run.”

But it’s not just people in red states who are scared. “After the election news broke, I cried to my mom on the phone,” Jasmine*, who is based in New York City, tells me. “She had young children and I want them one day, but I told her I was nervous and thinking about getting an IUD. A few hours later, she sent me a screenshot of her Amazon cart and said she was stocking up on her Plan B to send to me and my friends. I really felt seen and it felt so nice to feel supported. She wants me to have the right to choose.”

It should be noted that the shelf life of emergency contraceptives is four years – long enough to get through a Trump mandate. And while this seems symbolic, Jessica points out that people could feel the reverberations of his policies for the years to come. “People may think I’m being dramatic by doing this, but I’m doing it to protect myself and my friends,” she says. “I will not wait until the last minute to protect us.”
