I would add a couple of things to Lauren's good points re: abortion access. 1. If you want money to go DIRECTLY to funds, here's a way donate so that this happens: secure.actblue.com/donate/abort... - ThreadSky

2. I DO think it's important for individuals in our communities to SKILL-UP. That means we all need to be educated about the resources available locally re: abortion AND we need to know what it takes to self-manage abortions. These are important.

I'm encouraging people to get long term birth control if they can.

On that last point, I highly recommend watching The Janes, a 2022 documentary that recounts the story of women in pre-Roe Chicago who formed their own underground network of care when abortion care meant dying ignominiously in the sepsis wing of Cook County hospital.

It's a useful history. The good news is that everything that the Janes did is currently being done by abortion funds, clinics, and practical support networks. Their lessons are currently being practiced today.

3. Finally, you as an individual can and should absolutely distribute information to everyone in your communities about self-managed abortions, abortion funds, practical support groups. Become an evangelist in that way.

Finally if you're still in childbearing age, you can order abortion pills for yourself for the future just in case. You don't need to. stockpile them. If you go through https://aidaccess.org/, they require an ID, email and $150.

As a person who is no longer of childbearing age but I care about those who are, I can attest that Aidaccess is fast, convenient and confidential. My experience is admittedly anecdotal, but if it helps.
