The rights of uterus-having people are once again under attack. The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade in this June 24th, 2022 opinion. Within 30 days of this decision, many states’ trigger laws regarding abortion access and restriction will go into immediate effect.
This is not the end, and you are not alone.
There are numerous reasons one might need an abortion (health risk, age, financial instability, gender identity, circumstances of conception, and so many others). All reasons are valid, full stop. Furthermore, we believe all individuals should have access to safe abortions regardless of the reason. We hope this resource list finds whoever needs it.
This is not an exhaustive list of care options or access points — but we’re hoping this will be a good place for you to start.
