## Caption

Planned Parenthood is reporting a post-election surge of interest in Minnesota and neighboring states among women seeking long-acting birth control and men seeking vasectomies.

“People want to ensure they can get access to these things while they know that they can,” said Ruth Richardson, chief executive of Planned Parenthood North Central States. The St. Paul-based provider of reproductive health services has filled all appointments through January for men seeking a vasectomy.

The response is based on uncertainty as much as facts. President-elect Donald Trump was noncommittal during his campaign on reproductive health topics, hinting that he might let states continue to set their own abortion policies rather than pursue a federal ban or limit. He suggested at one point that he might pursue a federal policy limiting access to birth control, before pledging later on the same day on social media to “never advocate imposing restrictions on birth control.”

“The landscape that we have right now is ever-shifting in terms of what people have access to” for birth control, said Richardson, noting that changes are just as likely to come from court rulings as they are from Congress or the president.
