Several national pharmacy chains said they’re imposing purchase limits on emergency contraception known as “morning-after pills” after a surge in demand after the Supreme Court’s ruling striking down Roe v. Wade.

CVS and Rite Aid told the Wall Street Journal and other news outlets on Tuesday that they will place limits on buying Plan B, One-Step, and Aftera medications—which are brand-name products for the drug Levonorgestrel. Walmart also said it would place limits on the drugs.
