When they launched @Plancpills in 2014, Francine Coeytaux and Elisa Wells set out to change the way people think about abortion drugs, framing them as medicine that you could buy in advance and take just in case.
Several years later, they called on one of the handful of groups already mailing drugs to clients in legally restrictive countries to start serving the ppl in the US.
The Dutch physician and activist Rebecca Gomperts stepped up, launching @AidAccessUSA in 2018.
Over the past 3+ years, Aid Access has served tens of thousands of Americans, with demand surging in the first months of the pandemic.
That number could increase dramatically now that Aid Access is offering "advance provision" of pills to people in Texas -- allowing them to purchase the drugs before they become pregnant.
