Summary

Emergency contraception is now available in over 11,000 U.S. convenience stores, including 7-Eleven and Circle K, through Cadence’s "Morning After Pill" brand.

This expanded access comes as some Republican-led states push for stricter contraception scrutiny following abortion bans.

Cadence wants to normalize and broaden access to contraception, particularly for women lacking pharmacy access or facing stigma.

Priced around $25, the pill is placed near condoms, not behind counters. Despite opposition, polls show strong public support for contraception access amid rising demand and misinformation about legality and function.
