Every month I write a post saying “abortions are good!” and send a donation to @AidAccess to support their work providing abortion pills to people who need them. This month I also want to encourage you to start following a couple of accounts that talk about abortion, because the more informed you are, the better care you can take of both yourself and the people in your life. ⁠

These are some of my favorite resources: ⁠

• If you need abortion pills or help finding an abortion provider: Aid Access (@aidaccess), Plan C Pills (@plancpills), I Need An A (@ineedanacom⁠), Hey Jane (@heyjanehealth)⁠
• ⁠If you have medical questions about an abortion and want to confidentially speak to a healthcare provider: The Miscarriage and Abortion Hotline (@ma_hotline)⁠
• ⁠If you have legal questions about abortion issues: Repro Legal Helpline (@ifwhenhow)⁠, Repro Legal Defense Fund (@reprolegaldefensefund)
• ⁠If you need financial help accessing an abortion: National Network of Abortion Funds (@abortionfunds)⁠
• ⁠If you need moral support and encouragement: Shout Your Abortion (@shoutyourabortion)⁠
• ⁠If you want to keep up with news about attempts to limit abortion access: Abortion Every Day (@abortioneveryday), Jennifer Lincoln (@drjenniferlincoln), Mayday.Health (@mayday.health)

And it’s a good idea to follow these folks, not just assume you’ll be able to search for them later. Search results are determined by the algorithms used by the search engines, and it’s disturbingly easy for them to be manipulated. It’s better to just make sure you know where to find the info when you need it.⁠
