Massachusetts becomes the 15th state where residents are able to access telemedicine abortion. Learn about the services now offered through Maine Family Planning. Maine Family Planning participates in a national study that looks at the outcomes of telemedicine abortion, and has also provided access to people in New York. Participation in the study is required, and our interview unpacks what you need to know to get connected.
We also go through the complicated barriers put in place by anti-abortion regulators so you will understand the political landscape and how things differ under a variety state laws.
There are so many barriers faced by patients, including caregiving responsibilities, distance to a clinic, economics, reliance on public transportation, and COVID makes travel even more difficult (or impossible). Telemedicine has never been more needed than it is today.
Help us share this information so people can learn more about the providers who are making it possible for MA residents to receive care. Plus, help people in other states learn how they can receive care.
