July 2024 Newsletter: Focus on Self-Managed Abortion

This newsletter opens with a note from Grace Koch, the new program associate at OBOS Today. She shares how the overturning of Roe v. Wade affected her community in rural Wisconsin and highlights the importance of medication abortion in empowering people who face barriers to abortion services.

The newsletter also features a resource on how mifepristone and misoprostol work and how to get abortion pills. Content expert Candace Bond-Theriault, a Black queer feminist lawyer, writer, and social justice advocate, discusses her connection to OBOS Today and her new book, "Queering Reproductive Justice." Medical Students for Choice is organizing for change by ensuring that medical students and trainees are educated on the full spectrum of reproductive health care, including abortion care.

Finally, in two powerful stories, A'yen Tran shares how different her life would be had she not had an abortion, and OBOS Today content expert Dr. Rebekah Rollston reflects on her ectopic pregnancy and mifepristone and misoprostol for miscarriage management.
