We hear from people every day on the National Abortion Hotline whose lives are harmed by abortion bans

ANSIRH@ANSIRH

When people are forced to carry a pregnancy to term, they are less likely to have children later under better circumstances.

Abortion bans result in more children growing up in poverty and economic hardship.

As we continue to wait for a court decision that could restrict one of the medications commonly used to provide medication abortion, our members are working to make sure they are ready to continue providing safe medication abortion.

If @US_FDA removes mifepristone as an option, patients should be reassured that misoprostol-only is a well-studied and recommended option for abortion.

Here’s a brief summary of data on misoprostol-only abortion and a sample protocol for clinicians. https://www.contraceptionjournal.org/article/S0010-7824(23)00060-4/fulltext#%20

Following public outrage, @Walgreens attempts to clarify their position on filling prescriptions for abortion medications. We hope they will stand up to pressure from a small group of anti-abortion politicians.

It's great to see states step up to protect abortion access, but we also know it's increasingly difficult--if not impossible--for many people to travel to obtain an abortion. Our Hotline helps people travel every day but some folks cannot make a trip.
