Online access to Opill will benefit women who live in remote rural areas or who may not have access to transportation in order to travel to stores that carry it
The rollout is underway for Opill, the first over-the-counter birth control pill approved in the United States, and online sales began Monday morning.
Some major retail pharmacies, such as CVS and Walgreens, have said they will offer Opill once they receive their shipments. The more avenues through which people can access contraception - whether it's over the counter in a store or online - the more control they can have over their reproductive health and choices, said Megan Kavanaugh, a principal research scientist at the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit that has been tracking the rollout of Opill.
No states have made such proposals or actions on restricting access to Opill, but the concern stems from the US Supreme Court's Dobbs decision in 2022, which reversed Roe v. Wade and overturned the constitutional right to an abortion.
