We are looking at the possible end of Roe vs Wade. Some of us live in states where, in practice, abortion is practically unavailable. Some of us live in states that are considering limiting our access to contraceptives as well. Some of our states want us to be severely punished if we seek out abortions. If the GOP has its way, Roe vs Wade will be overturned in the next couple years.
What can we do to prep for ourselves and our loved ones? Our friends? Our community:? Should we stock up on condoms? Misoprostol? What can we do to prep for this?

The “Option” of a DIY Abortion
……….For women who fought long and hard to legalize abortion and create access to safe, legal abortion within healthcare settings, focusing on DIY abortion care can feel like moving backwards, like a ghost of the Jane Collective, an underground abortion collective of laypeople which arose to provide abortions to women who needed or wanted them, before abortion was legal in the United States, in the latter part of the 1960s. But as The Nation article states, “Finding ways to support those who choose to self-induce abortion does not mean abandoning the fight to preserve access in clinics and hospitals.” www.ourbodiesourselves.org/...
