Abortion is Health Care. Abortion is between a woman/girl and her doctor, not your state governor or politician. Take the stigma out of abortion by discussing it and discovering the complexity and nuances of pregnancy. This page lists abortion resources for those who need abortion care and people who want to learn and support people who need or want an abortion.
Crisis Pregnancy Centers
First, DO NOT GO TO OR CONTACT A CRISIS PREGNANCY CENTER (CPC). They do NOT care about you and what you want. They are an anti-abortion group who will deceive you. Do your research on CPCs if you like, but the best advice is to go directly to Planned Parenthood for help.

Reminder: Do not let conservatives disingenuously get by saying, “We just want to save the babies.” Pregnancy is much more complex and nuanced than that.
Message to Conservatives: In 2023, if you vote for Republican politicians who back abortion bans, you support the possible death of women and girls in your family and life.
