Hi Friend,
A short while ago, a federal judge in Texas ruled to overturn FDA approval of Mifepristone, a pill that we have known to be safe and effective in clinician-guided and self-managed abortion care in the U.S. and globally for decades.
While we wait to fully understand the implications of this decision, here is what we know: People will always need abortions.
People will always have abortions.
Abortion pills are safe and effective.
Abortion bans are racist.
We keep us safe, not judges and courts. Here's how you can take action right now:
- Help us with a $15, $25 or $50 donation to URGE here. Your gift will go directly towards self-managed abortion info shares and our Abortion Positive Tour.
-
Take a selfie, group photo, or make a video showing us a spot where you think abortion pills should be conveniently located (i.e., your bedside table, purse, medicine cabinet, or the family planning aisle in your local pharmacy). Use the interactive Pill Box Filter “That Box” on Instagram to virtually place a pill box wherever you’d like! Wanna take it up a notch? Add some music, and tell people, “Abortion pills belong HERE!” Please use #AbortionPillsEverywhere, and tag @urge_org and @AbortionOnOurOwnTerms!

Get the word out: medication abortion is safe and effective. People should be able to end a pregnancy in the way that makes the most sense for them, whether that is in person at a health center, at home, or another place of their choosing. |
