Today is a reminder that:
Abortion is safe.
Abortion is healthcare.

We will keep showing up and keep bridging the gap until abortion is borderless, burden free, and accessible to all.

Our client coordinators witness every day how much harder & more expensive these journeys have become: multi-state travel, lost wages, childcare, time off, hostile laws, and more.

Today is International Safe Abortion Day. Here in the U.S., the post-Dobbs landscape has made abortion even more difficult to access for millions. For many of our clients, our support is the necessary bridge that gets them to a safe abortion in an access state.

The Brigid Alliance helps remove those barriers. We provide travel and logistical support for people who must travel across the country for later abortion care, especially from states with bans.

🔁 Help remove the stigma by resharing.

You’ve probably heard the term later abortion, but many use the term with a lot of assumption and little explanation. Our latest video breaks it down: why people seek abortions later in pregnancy, the barriers they face, and why access to this care is essential.

As Texas proposes yet *another* ban—one that would encourage private citizens to sue anyone who manufactures, distributes, or provide medication abortion to someone in Texas—our client Kaitlyn Kash is speaking out. #TXBanWeek

We are grateful for our partners at Alamo Women's Clinic who work with us to provide essential healthcare with compassion. These barriers to care shouldn't exist - but until they are gone, we ensure no one has to go through this alone. 🤝 ⬇️

"I'm grateful that I didn't have to do this alone."
When Autumn found out that her baby had a fetal anomaly she decided to have an abortion, but bans in Texas forced her to travel for the care she needed. This only added to the isolation and stress she felt, when she needed support the most. ⬇️

🎉 Massachusetts just expanded their shield law protections for abortion and gender-affirming care! These laws ensure providers and patients are safeguarded from out-of-state anti-abortion attacks and that emergency abortion care remains protected. We break down what the new shield laws do.
