carafem now offering abortion pills for future use
It’s completely normal for pregnancies to happen when you’re not planning for them—in fact, nearly 42% of pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned. That’s why carafem now offers a proactive option to help you feel more prepared: abortion pills for future use (sometimes called “advance provision”).
Everyone deserves the freedom to decide if, when, and how many children they want to have. But we know that access to abortion care in the U.S. is becoming harder every day. Right now, 12 states have completely banned abortion, and 29 impose tough restrictions like unrealistic gestational age limits or unnecessary hurdles that delay care. These barriers affect some groups more than others—especially Black, Latino, and Indigenous people; LGBTQIA+ individuals; those with disabilities or low incomes; people in rural areas; immigrants; and young people.
That’s why having abortion pills available just in case can be such an empowering option. If you ever find yourself facing an unintended pregnancy and have missed the short window for emergency contraception (like Plan B), having abortion pills on hand means you can take action when you’re ready, in the privacy and comfort of your own space. No waiting for approvals, no worrying about shipping delays—just peace of mind knowing you’re prepared.
