Reproductive health, rights and justice advocates with Plancpills and ifwhenhow have teamed up to plaster New York City subways with information about how to find abortion pills and access free legal advice about using them.
“As more and more states are enacting restrictions on access to abortion care, which should be basic, accessible medical care, we want people to know that there are alternative routes of access to these pills in all 50 states. And we also want them to know that there’s a potential legal risk in some states and that If/When/How is a great organization to help people understand that risk so that they can make decisions about what’s best for them.
New York state allows telemedicine abortion and New York City has wide availability of telemedicine abortion providers, but advocates say people may still be interested in self-managed abortions and may be seeking information about options and resources. Green states allow telemedicine abortion and have providers offering this service. In the yellow states, people are finding workaround ways to access abortion pills.
