Hey, yeah. The Supreme Court is full of conservatives who are likely to restrict abortion and maybe even contraception options.
Now MIGHT BE THE TIME TO STOCK UP.
Plan B emergency contraception is available without a prescription at most retail pharmacy stores in Georgia for people 17 or older. SOURCE
Some forms of emergency contraception are available on pharmacy shelves, without a prescription, to anyone of any age.
Plan B is most effective in people 165 lbs. or less. It may be ineffective in people with a BMI of 26 or more.

Between Plan B and Ella, Ella is the emergency contraception that is most effective for people who weigh between 155 to 195 lbs. It may lose effectiveness for people with a BMI of 35. SOURCE
The bad news is, if you weigh more than 195 lbs and need emergency contraception, you have to talk your doctor. The sure-fire way to achieve emergency contraception is a copper IUD, which is NOT a solution for some people. They're expensive, insertion is a WHOLE THING, and they may cause heavier periods.
There is some evidence that doubling the dose of Plan B may be effective in people with higher BMI, BUT that's VERY UNPROVEN in the scientific literature and the safety of this is completely unknown. SOURCE
