With the Supreme Court's overruling of Roe v. Wade, people who self-manage abortions are coming under increased attack from the criminal legal system, deportation system, and family service agencies. This guide examines how self-managed abortions (SMA) are prosecuted and provides points of intervention and support for those seeking to control their bodies and their health. It suggests coordinating legal representation, fundraising for bail and legal defense funds, and offers communication strategies for fighting for reproductive justice.
