After you’ve had an abortion, you may be feeling happiness, relief, exhaustion, sadness, or a combination of many things.
Post-Abortion Community Circles
Our virtual post-abortion community circles are held monthly on the second Tuesday. A Home Here, hosted by Eboné McCloud of The Ayaba Series and Tunisia Tai of We Testify, is a space for people to feel safe and “at home” within themselves to speak about their experiences with abortion care. This space is inclusive, for people of all gender identities, supportive, open, and without judgment.
We have compiled a list of articles and organizations that provide more information, guidance, and support.
The contents of these resources are for informational purposes only, this is not medical or legal advice. The listing of these resources does not imply endorsement of any content.
(The Chicago Abortion Fund cannot provide direct support to people self managing abortions. For more information about self-managed abortion with pills one can visit abortionpillinfo.org or plancpills.org.)
