"Opill will be available at CVS.com and through the CVS Pharmacy app in late March," spokesperson Matt Blanchette wrote in an email. "In early April more than 7,500 CVS Pharmacy stores will offer Opill and for added privacy and convenience, customers will be able to choose same-day delivery or buy online and pick-up in store.
"Having online options for people who are very tech-savvy and comfortable navigating the online environment, which we know younger people are better at anyway, is a great option," Kavanaugh said. No states have made such proposals or actions on restricting access to Opill, but the concern stems from the US Supreme Court's Dobbs decision in 2022, which reversed Roe v. Wade and overturned the constitutional right to an abortion.
"Opill should be considered by individuals who desire birth control but are unable to see a primary care physician, gynecologist or other provider who can prescribe birth control pills," she said.
