Abortion is still legal in the United States, but legality isn’t accessibility. ✨ Increasi

Abortion is still legal in the United States, but legality isn’t accessibility. ✨ Increasingly, more women and people are managing their abortions on their own without a doctor. There are a variety of reasons someone may choose to do so, including not being able to access in-clinic abortion care, cost, fear of safety or need for privacy. ✨ As we move closer to a post-Roe future, now is the time to educate yourself and your community about self-managed abortion with pills . The number of people turning to self-managed abortion is increasing, and knowledge about abortion can be empowering! Here’s what you need to know: -It’s MEDICALLY safe and effective to take the abortion pills (misoprostol and/or misoprostol+mifepristone) to end a pregnancy in the first 12 weeks without a clinic or doctor supervision. -It’s LEGALLY risky ⚖️ - at least 20 people have been arrested for self-managing their care. ✨ Here are some resources to explore & learn more (and accounts to follow!) ✨Step by step instructions and information about self-managed abortion with pills is available from Reproaction, the World Health Organization (YUP), and Aid Access. ✨ Plan C has a report card of online abortion pill retailers! ✨If someone needs help or has questions about how to use the abortion pills, they can contactWomen Help Women ✨If someone has questions about their rights, they can call ☎️ If/When/How’s hotline atreprohelpline.org✨If someone needs judgement free advice (or just needs an ear to listen!) they can call All-Options at 1-888-493-0092 ☎️✨ Before you @ me, I wouldn’t be sharing if I didn’t think it was necessary. This is community harm reduction. In the meantime, continue fighting like hell - contribute to your local abortion fund and get involved! ✊️Quote from @abortion_embroidery on Instagram! -- source link
