Misoprostol alone, or in combination with mifepristone, is a safe and effective way to end a pregnancy in the first 12 weeks. It is approved by the World Health Organization as a safe abortion method when used by women themselves to nine weeks and has been used successfully by millions of individuals around the world, without a clinician.

But if you are further along in your pregnancy and must travel to access necessary care, here are some organizations that can help:

Haven Coalition: The Haven Coalition is a 501c3 non-profit made up of volunteers dedicated to supporting people traveling to New York City for abortions. Its volunteers provide a safe place to sleep the night between appointments, dinner, and an escort to and from the clinic. Volunteers can also be available to escort people living in the five boroughs home from an abortion appointment after receiving anesthesia.

The Bridgid Alliance: The Brigid Alliance aims to fprovide travel support to individuals seeking later abortion care and partnering closely with the community of abortion funds and advocacy organizations. Brigid is a referral-based program and creates and funds itineraries in collaboration with clients, partner clinics, abortion funds, and practical support organizations. The organization works with individuals who must travel for later abortion care (after the first trimester) in New York State and to specialist providers in Washington, DC; Bethesda, Maryland; Boulder, Colorado; and Albuquerque, New Mexico.
