Society of Family Planning What to know rn:
1) Abortion is still LEGAL in Florida up to 15 weeks for the next month. The near-total ban is NOT in effect.
2) The ripple effects of FL's ban will worsen abortion access across the entire U.S.
2) Florida abortion funds need your help: secure.actblue.com/donate/fundabo…
We know from Society of Family Planning's #WeCount data where people who were forced to travel for abortions went. We know that A LOT of Southerners went to Florida and North Carolina. Since this map's end point in June 2023, NC has implemented 12-week ban and soon FL will have a ~6-week ban.
Medication abortion is safe and effective.

It was gratifying though, to hear U.S. Solicitor General Prelogar cite the stat from our study that half of those who go to the ER after an abortion do not need any treatment.
