Advocates report seeing "huge increase in demand" for abortion pills since leaked Supreme Court draft opinion

Medication abortions, which rely on pills to terminate a pregnancy instead of surgery, could be the next battleground if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. 

The two-pill combination, used together to terminate a pregnancy within the first 10 weeks, is the most popular abortion option. In 2020, it made up more than half of all U.S. abortions, according to a report issued by the Guttmacher Institute.

Abortion advocates tell CBS News that since Politico published a leaked draft opinion that suggested the Supreme Court appeared ready to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, they have seen a spike in interest in abortion pills.
