This guide is here to help you prepare for an abortion, understand your options, ask questions, protect your privacy, and find support.
The recommendations in this guide were based on focus group conversations and key interviews that NAPAWF held with AANHPI abortion seekers and providers.
In addition to the information shared in this guide, it’s important to note that abortion laws vary from state to state and can change. If you don’t know what the current laws are where you live, you can find out from our friends at AbortionFinder.org. You can also reach out to a qualified legal service provider with any questions about your specific legal situation.
Regardless of where you live or where you’re from, you deserve the kind of care that listens to you, protects your privacy, explains your options clearly, and supports you in making the decision that is right for you.
