From the site:

The abortion landscape is fragmented and increasingly polarized. Many states have abortion restrictions or bans in place that make it difficult, if not impossible, for people to get care. Other states have taken steps to protect abortion rights and access. Our interactive map groups states into one of seven categories based on abortion policies they currently have in effect. Users can select any state to see details about abortion policies, characteristics of state residents and key abortion statistics, including driving distance to the nearest abortion clinic.

The map reflects state policies in effect as of December 21, 2022.

Mastpost for Direct Action: Resources To Recieve Aid Or Host (explaining why both formal and informal organizations exist)

Someone made a post about this before, but adding on to this https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/0kcalsugarbabe/688499006016520192

1. Stay up-to-date

Trigger laws are already being fought off and delayed by state judges, which is still allowing women to get abortions, some as late as 15-weeks.

Ex. https://href.li/?https://www.axios.com/2022/06/27/abortion-louisiana-trigger-law-lawsuit-roe

As I've said before, helping someone g_ c_mping is a viable option especially in states with protective laws put in place for these specific reasons.

Ex. https://www.mprnews.org/amp/story/2022/06/25/walz-issues-executive-order-on-reproductive-health-following-supreme-court-ruling

Edit: This is especially relevant if you're a minor. I'm so sorry for y'all, but it's a whole other ball of wax when it comes to getting an abortion while having a minor status, since often it'll be required of you to produce a signature of your parent/guardian or get a waiver.

2. Check their social media. This is a part of the vetting process that even networks use like WRRAP, and should go both ways (both by host and people looking for one)

3. Any research into these areas should be done with VPN (a lot of people use Express or 12) and a browser like duckduckgo.

4. Ask Abortion Funds for Financial Help if Required. As people have outlined before, SOME abortion funds can help you get to the clinic by giving you a ride or paying for a bus ticket and hotel depending on your situation: https://abortionfunds.org/

But If You Can't For Any Reason And Need A Ride remember to follow the earlier instructions to keep both yourself and a volunteer safe.

5) To people who wish to host women, yes, there are posts already about formal and informal groups ( I share them below). It's preferable for you to live near an airport/abortion clinic. You can offer home-stays or help women book hotel rooms depending on your states COVID policies for fresh arrivals (but remember there would be a risk in helping to assist in these bookings; that's why the abortion fund provides services of taking the legal risk).

Reasons volunteers offer home-stays by the way...is because depending on the abortion clinic procedure, hotel stays can run up to hundreds of dollars. I looked around my area, for example, and a proper hotel (not bug-infested motel, bc these women have got enough problems to deal with as is) and it's the same deal.

The woman who began the "camping" euphemism is herself someone who had to travel across statelines for an abortion; decades older and more knowledgeable than most of us on this website, and yes, has now a team of volunteers that are offering the services to help women get their abortions (Not posting the name directly here obviously for safety reasons) It always starts somewhere. Something small that grows larger with time. Direct action that spreads into a coordinated movement.

That is why on Tumblr you might hear of informal groups like one of my friends is a part of like "The Aunties" that will help you out: "A modern-day adaptation of underground abortion networks that helped people access care when the procedure was illegal, the Auntie Network stands alongside formal organizations like the Brigid Alliance and the National Network of Abortion Funds that coordinate travel and remove financial barriers to getting abortions." ​

The Brigid Alliance supports individuals who are seeking an abortion and are currently 15 weeks pregnant or more, and they're able to cover your costs and transportations if you set up appointments at their clinics: https://brigidalliance.org/need-support/ (currently in five states)

The Abortion Fund Network offers over 50 practical support organizations across the country: https://apiaryps.org/pso-list (Covers 41 states)

These limitations are also why the informal groups exist-- it's in efforts of covering all bases. ​(NOT of fighting each other for Christ's sake)

Advice from people already on the ground who have decades of experience in this: https://www.kunc.org/2022-06-29/some-californians-are-prepping-to-host-visitors-who-seek-abortion-access

Volunteer form for reproductive health organizations: https://wrrap.org/get-involved/volunteer/volunteer-form/

Find an abortion fund and offer a hand in volunteering: https://abortionfunds.org/funds/ ​

Edit: Find assistance as a minor (there are more complicated legalities in place for needing reproductive health care as a minor) and someone went into it more on their post here: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/bitchesgetriches/688620891405418496?source=share

Abortion is healthcare! 💚

Here's an analogy for why I'm pro-abortion:

Being pro-abortion is like being pro-divorce. It doesn't mean I'm rooting for your marriage to end or that it's the right choice for your relationship. (That's none of my business, frankly.) But it does mean that if you find yourself needing to separate from your spouse, you should have access to the legal means of doing that. For whatever reason.

To me, abortion is like that too. I want everyone who wants or needs an abortion to be able to access it legally. If that's what they choose, or if that's what becomes necessary, they should be able to do what 1 in 4 other pregnant people have been able to do and access a safe and legal abortion.

Abortion is healthcare, and healthcare is a right that everyone deserves access to. I believe that today, and I'll believe it next month and next year. No matter what.

Last week was hard. It's going to get harder. But we can and will always look out for each other. That's the way through.

I donated to three abortion funds last week. They were:

@chicagoabortionfund (Illinois)

@yellowfund (Alabama)

@teafund (Texas)

If you are able, please donate to an abortion fund. They're the best way to give direct help to those in need.

yes, i’m an umbrella academy meme blog, but the US supreme court’s majority opinion draft on their abortion rights case just leaked and they plan to overturn roe v. wade, and this is the biggest following i have on any platform.

here is an article with a list of abortion funds you can donate to right now if you have the means, and here is an even longer one. 

and here is an article on the situation so you can learn more.

"pre-born children" is exactly the wrong words. There is nothing wrong with calling them embryos

In case Roe is overturned and women are stuck in states that do not allow abortions under any circumstances:

I am not saying that this is a good idea. I am saying that this is incredibly dangerous. Do not take anything in this link as advice from me and do not take this as me in any way endorsing this link. However, this information could come in handy someday. Again, let me repeat: just because it worked for me does NOT make it safe. Be careful. This is a last resort and a last resort only.

As far as I know, and I know a decent amount about herbs, the medical warnings and herbal properties mentioned are accurate.
