Hi John,

As the criminalization of pregnancy and abortion care grows, self-managed abortion remains a vital and empowering option. It is clear that anti-abortion forces are working to punish people for their pregnancy outcomes, but communities continue to share knowledge, offer support, and protect one another. Together, we’re making sure that access doesn’t disappear—it adapts and persists. Self-managed abortion is not only safe and effective; it is a powerful act of autonomy. In a time of increasing surveillance and legal threats, collective care is our resistance.
