Public funding for healthcare should be a human right- and abortion is healthcare!

Following up on expenses, we were floored by this average- the very real cost of care from a holistic perspective is something we are working towards covering.

These are all stressful expenses, & what is most stressful for one person may be different for another, but on average birthing people who accessed abortions in MA said this...

While July 4th is in many ways an obscure date that only furthered the interests of rich, land owning, white men, we hold that the spirit of independence translates to speaking about bodily autonomy every day, & we believe in rest. With that, we are closed on 7/4/24- we will be back in action on Friday 7/5/24

As Pride month comes to a close, we want folx to hear loud & clear- People getting an abortion isn't limited to your sexual orientation or gender identity- everyone deserves the right to safe & compassionate care free of stigma.

We have said it since the beginning- ROE WAS NEVER ENOUGH! We honor those who fought for these protections, while holding those of our communities who we excluded, excommunicated, unthought of, while Roe was being built. We are grateful to be doing this work with all of you
