[Health & Sexuality Info](/health-info)# abortion (self-managed)

Self-managed abortions refer to any actions a person takes to end a pregnancy without the support or assistance of a healthcare professional such as a doctor, nurse, or midwife. Self-managed abortion typically involves finding and taking abortion pills to end a pregnancy. Self-managed abortion is also known as self-induced abortion, self-sourced abortion, self-administered abortion, self-care abortion, or, colloquially, as “DIY” abortion.
