A must read article from Caroline Kitchener on the anxiety-filled experiences of people self-managing their abortions, 'alone in a bathroom.' While self-managed abortion is extremely safe, it can be isolating and scary without access to a provider.

'This is not the way health care should be. '
Amid state abortion bans, women are now often left to manage pill-induced abortions alone. While generally safe, these can feel lonely and scary, stripped of the guidance of medical care. Caroline Kitchener

Just before #Dobbs , Arizona was providing nearly 1,500 abortions per month. After Dobbs, lack of clarity in the law led to a sudden drop. The monthly count increased over time but never back to pre-Dobbs levels. Soon these counts will drop to ~0.
