Here’s what you need to know:

    • Abortion pills are still available by mail, in all states. 

    • Abortion pills are safe and effective, FDA-approved medications used by millions around the world to safely end pregnancies, both within and outside of medical systems.

    • In the US, abortion pills are available online from multiple sources and with options for free confidential support. Even in states that ban abortion care, there are several ways people are getting pills by mail. Cost is often sliding scale from $150 down to $0. 

    • The vast majority of states don’t have laws that criminalize the person seeking an abortion. But, some states have tried to use other laws against people, and buying and using abortion pills from alternative suppliers may come with legal risks. The ReproLegalHelpline can answer questions for free.
