Planned Parenthood to offer ‘just in case’ abortion pills at some US clinics

Patients in Washington and Hawaii will be able to obtain medication before pregnancy in expansion of early access

Planned Parenthood clinics in Washington and Hawaii will now offer “just in case” abortion medication, bringing wider attention to the option of receiving the pills in advance of pregnancy amid growing challenges to access.

Leaders at the organization hope their name recognition will help community members understand their options for accessing care despite federal, state and personal challenges to getting abortion care.
