Abortion Without Borders provides information, practical support and funding to people who need abortions.
Europe is often imagined to be ‘progressive’ when it comes to abortion, but a lot of people who need abortions are falling through the cracks of the system:
In Poland, abortion is almost entirely illegal.
There are only a few countries in Europe where abortion is legal after the 14th week
Undocumented people, migrant workers, and people without health insurance are often denied access to abortion services.
Stigma and social control prevents people from seeking abortion. Anonymous options are not always available.
Anti-abortion groups are becoming increasingly prolific, setting up fake clinics and websites with misinformation (most notably at the moment are misinformation campaigns about the supposed ‘dangers’ of abortion pills that are in fact totally safe.)
But there are answers. Abortion Without Borders is a network of mutual aid groups that helps people access abortion.
They can help you access an abortion in your own home, using abortion pills that are safe and indistinguishable from a natural miscarriage. Absolutely no one needs to know.
If you’re too far along for pills or don’t want pills, they can help you access abortion in a clinic in a country where abortion is legal up to your 24th week. They can help with travel, housing, translation and the costs of the abortion itself.
Their website mainly focuses on Poland because that is where the greatest need is at the moment, but wherever you are: if you need an abortion and can’t get one, they will help.
