🧵: What comes to mind when you think of a person making an appointment for an abortion? What comes to mind when you think of someone making an appointment for their fourth abortion? #stigma #abortion
The Merriam Webster word of the day for September 9, 2026:

Our research shows that medication abortion patients who receive pills by mail without first getting an ultrasound do just as well as those who are examined and given the drugs in person. Any attempt to restrict this type of care is not based on science.

Dems in the PA state leg have introduced a proposed amendment to their constitution. It's EXCELLENT for its thoroughness, its inclusion of the human right to choose to get pregnant/have kids, and its lack of viability rules. It's unlikely to go anywhere for now; Republicans control PA's leg. 1/5

Graphic by the Charlotte Lozier Institute (an anti-abortion organization) shows a pie chart of "Reasons for seeking abortion", and the % of abortions that were reported to be for that reason. All the reasons listed have been written over with the text "None of your business".

“My biggest fear is going to the hospital." Pregnant immigrants are terrified ICE will show up outside the doctors' office or at the hospital. So they're skipping the care necessary to ensure a healthy birth. Some experience dangerous complications as a result. 19thnews.org/2025/10/preg...

ICE fears put pregnant immigrants and their babies at risk
Fear of deportation is deterring people without permanent legal status from critical care. Doctors are worried for their health — and the health of their pregnancies.

Some updates to our list here, and most of them are good—more affiliates tell us they are still caring for people with Medicaid post-"defund." But an awful lot of these statements come with a "for now" caveat, suggesting things could change in a few weeks or months.

There are four main sources. Here's what each one should send:
Community Networks:

- Generic pills that are typically manufactured in India
- Equivalent to pills approved in the United States, but the US FDA does not oversee their production or quality.
- Option to receive pills in foil blister pack or repackaged without labeling (in unmarked prescription bottle or small sealed pouch). 
- Different services send different amounts of miso (8, 12, or 16 tablets). Websites that sell pills:

- Generic pills that are typically manufactured in India
- Equivalent to pills approved in the United States, but the US FDA does not oversee their production or quality.
- Sometimes inside a small cardboard box and sometimes just in foil blister packs.
- Usually, one mife tablet and at least 8 miso. Sometimes 2 packages of 5 pills (totalling 2 mife, 8 miso.)US-based Online Clinics

What to expect when you're expecting...abortion pills in the mail! Here's our visual and alt-text guide to what should show up after you order.
How Different Service Package Abortion Pills: A visual guideDifferent services ship different pill types. These images are examples, but pill shapes, colors, brands, and pill markings can vary, so orders may look different. The outer packaging will not show that there are abortion pills inside. 

Plan C does regular "mystery shopping" to test services that mail pills. Over the past 10 years of testing, we have never received any products that appear to be fake. Our period lab testing of products has shown that pills provided by the services listed on our website have the correct active ingredients and are of acceptable quality. Most services ship 1 mife plus at least 8 miso. Prodivers or the M&A Hotline can provide guidance on how many pills to take (and what to do with any extra pills). 

If you need support to self-manage your miscarriage or abortion, call or text 1-888-246-2632. All texts and phone calls at confidential, private, and secure.
