As American federal protections for reproductive rights are threatened with the pending Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, many are preparing for the potential downfall of reproductive health rights.
Many women are rushing to secure birth control and contraceptives and to support women, health company Stix recently launched The Restart Donation Bank where individuals can donate to make morning-after pills free and accessible to women. Less than 24 hours after the launch, the donation bank has collected over $26k in donations and currently boasts over $50k in donations.
Moreover, Stix also announced the introduction of a morning-after pill called Restart that will be available to purchase without a prescription. When the medication is available -- starting mid-June -- women can request and receive it the next day in the mail, no questions asked.
