Why this training? Why now?
The overturning of Roe v. Wade has meant decreased access to abortion care, increased demand at clinics still providing abortion, and legal gray area and confusion for people who want to end their pregnancies and providers working with pregnant people. People need additional information, resources, skills, and practice to navigate the current abortion care landscape. And, over the many years that we’ve been doing this work, we’ve developed a wealth of tools and information for navigating complex reproductive circumstances and decisions. We want to share these with you!
Roe was never enough to ensure access to abortion care for everyone. Abortion has always been out of reach for some people, whether for financial reasons, geography, gestation, age, or a combination of these barriers. Many of us have already seen clients who learned they were too far along for an abortion at our facility or in our area. This isn’t a totally unfamiliar situation, and you already have skills for supporting people. However, an increasing number of states that have banned or restricted abortion care means many more people will be facing these tough decisions about if and how they can still access abortion, and what to do if they can’t. We created this training to help prepare you to navigate these tough situations.
