Live in a state where abortion is limited? We can help!

Many people live in states that have restrictive abortion laws or a low number of providers, which makes it harder and harder for people to access this basic form of medical care. šŸ˜“

But did you know that some people can travel to a neighboring state for a short video visit or Immediate Evaluation with carafem and then pick up abortion pills at a discreet location, all with 24/7 medical support at your fingertips? šŸ˜„

To help get the word out that it’s possible to receive high quality, medically supported abortion with pills in a nearby state, we reached out to social justice and mental health awareness artist and advocate Taylor Steinbeck (aka @shegotthepink on Instagram). We explained the situation and asked her to create some illustrations to paint the picture of what it looks like to legally access telehealth abortion care even if you live in a state where it is limited.

carafem can help you legally access telehealth abortion care even if you live in a state that limits it.

If there are restrictive abortion laws in your state or a low number of providers without availability that fits your schedule, you could head to a nearby state for more convenient care.

For people living in states with limited abortion providers, finding a timely appointment that’s convenient and discreet can be challenging. That’s where carafem comes in. Medically supported at home abortion care is currently provided by carafem in over a dozen states (check this page for frequent updates).
