abortion access

Abortion Care is now available at Missouri Clinics!

On Friday, February 14, 2025 a Jackson County Circuit Court blocked the last remaining barrier to abortion care, calling the medically unnecessary restrictions blatantly discriminatory. The first in-clinic abortion in Missouri since the US Supreme Court Dobbs decision took place the following day in Kansas City. Columbia, Kansas City, and St. Louis now have appointments for procedural abortions available.

SELF MANAGED ABORTION

Despite the political interference of abortion bans in states like Missouri, people in all 50 states are safely self managing their own abortions on their own terms with medication abortion pills.

WHAT IS SELF-MANAGED ABORTION WITH PILLS?

Self managed abortion with pills, or SMA, is the process of safely and privately ending a pregnancy with abortion pills. There are two pills referred to as “abortion pills:” mifepristone and misoprostol (or misoprostol only, if mifepristone is not available). Abortion with pills can be safely and effectively self managed, meaning without the supervision of an abortion provider.

PLAN-C PILLS

Provides up to date information on how Missourians, and people everywhere, are accessing medication abortion pills.

SELF-MANAGED ABORTION RISK MITIGATION

If someone experiences complications with self managing their abortion they DO NOT have to disclose that they took medication abortion pills to their care provider– There is no medical difference between miscarriage management and abortion care. If someone has questions or concerns about the potential for legal risk in accessing medication abortion pills they can contact the IF/WHEN/HOW REPRO LEGAL HELPLINE at 844.868.2812
