Online Abortion Provider Christie Pitney of Forward Midwifery: “Fast, Convenient Care” |
BY CARRIE N. BAKER | As we await the fate of Roe v. Wade, Ms.’s “Online Abortion Provider” series will spotlight the wide range of new telemedicine abortion providers springing up across the country in response to the recent removal of longstanding FDA restrictions on the abortion pill mifepristone.
“Abortion and all sexual and reproductive healthcare is just healthcare,” said Christie Pitney, an advanced practice midwife with Forward Midwifery serving patients in California, Colorado, Oregon and Massachusetts. “It should be accessible without having to jump through all of these hoops.”

Ms. Relaunches Iconic “We Have Had Abortions” Campaign |
In its 1972 preview issue, Ms. magazine ran a bold petition in which 53 well-known U.S. women declared that they had undergone abortions—despite laws in most states rendering the procedure illegal. We know it is time again.
Today in Texas, abortion has been outlawed for the vast majority of women and girls. And in a few short months, the Supreme Court is likely to rule in a case that is a direct challenge to Roe v. Wade and will impact abortion access nationwide.
