"Before the Texas law took effect, Aid Access, an organization that ships abortion-inducing pills across the United States, received an average of 10.8 requests per day from Texans. But during that first September week, Aid Access received 137.7 requests per day.
Over the following three months, that frenzy calmed down somewhat, to an average of 29.5 requests per day. But that’s still an increase of 174 percent over pre-ban levels
