Hi John,

We know that self-managed abortion is safe, effective, and common. As more abortion clinics close across the country, more people are self-managing their abortions. It is essential that our advocacy embraces diverse abortion stories and methods. We reject any stigma associated with abortion, including stigma against self-managed abortion, and prioritize creating a stigma-free environment in our activism.
