A few days ago I met a pal, an OB-GYN who is working at a service that sends abortion pills (mifepristone and misoprostol) to women who need them in states that ban abortion. She asked me to help spread the word about how to use the service, and asked me to ask you guys to pass on the info. 1/6

A host of providers are doing this. They all have somewhat different terms and rates. You can find out which is best for you at Plan C ( www.plancpills.org ) -- a list of providers, rules, FAQs, etc. It’s a good place to begin if you need this. 2/6

PLAN C: Abortion pills by mail in every statewww.plancpills.org Plan C is an information resource for self-managed, at-home abortion with pills. Learn how people in the U.S. are accessing abortion pill options online.

My pal works with The MAP (Massachusetts Medication Abortion Access Project), which is affiliated with Cambridge Reproductive Health Consultants. They’re pricey (up to $250), because they provide more care than bare-bones services. But there's a sliding scale for ppl short of funds. Here’s the site:

As my pal stressed, 100% of the work at The MAP is volunteer and non-profit. But that doesn’t mean they have no expenses, esp. lawyers and insurance (obvsly), but also providing near-free “miffies” (MD jargon for the pills) for women who need them and can't afford the full fee. 4/6

Please pass on this information far and wide! My pal tells me that not enough women know these services exist—and especially not the younger women who especially might need them. And donate! (We did; it was easy; you can, too.) 6/6

Thank you. I’ll make it a morning action for @theearlyworm.bsky.social. We’re new but we’ll do our best to get it out.

It's true, far too many people are unaware of these services. I will ask you for one thing going forth however... Simply, to be aware that not *all* people who become pregnant, might be referred to as women. I usually try to make use of "people", "persons" etc to include all. 🙂

Thanks for mentioning this. I lived in Alabama for a long time, and I remember vividly how maddening judicial decisions were when I lived there. I appreciate having the pointer to good places to donate. I'm in my 40s now, but I remember the scared 20-something version of me who needed this care.

Donated!
