About Holistic Abortions
Mission
Holistic Abortions promotes the value of community expertise, the wisdom of diverse lived experiences, and the power of collectively held knowledge to reshape abortion access and provision by centering the unique needs and identities of abortion seekers. We empower individuals with accessible, community-centered, and justice-oriented reproductive educational programming and offer no-cost abortion doulas to those seeking one-on-one support for their clinical or self-managed abortions. Through collaboration with values-aligned organizations, artists, activists, researchers, and clinicians we work to build community power and promote holistic, safe, and effective abortion care in North America.
Who We Are
Holistic Abortions’ team and co-conspirators are grounded in liberation work across issues. We are led by people with a diversity of lived experiences around abortion. These varied experiences result in a deep-seeded commitment to increasing access, information, and availability of various abortion methods as a means of nurturing autonomous communities and liberation toward our collective resilience. We acknowledge and honor the people that have come before us that hold the unbroken thread connecting abortion keepers across time. May we remember where we come from to guide us where we are going.
We are proudly pro-abortion and believe all people should have the information, resources and the support needed to make informed decisions about their bodies, their reproductive lives and when and how they want to build their family.
We are deeply committed to justice and we believe in housing, health care (including but not limited to abortion, gender-affirming and reproductive care), quality education, food, and peace for all people across the globe. No one is free until we are all free.
We strive to continuously learn and grow. We believe in science and evidence-based data, and we believe in embodied knowledge and collective wisdom.
We believe in accountability for ourselves and others in our movement - we are committed to hearing concerns and feedback from the community about our creations, classes and content in an effort to build new worlds and move towards autonomy and collective liberation.
Vision and Values
Ways We Take Action
We build power and empower our communities by teaching classes to increase bodily autonomy, hosting peer-to-peer care circles, and facilitating conference talks and panels.
We challenge academia and other institutional authorities by co-creating, authoring, and publishing research and data in peer-reviewed journals and in self-published zines. We are the experts of our experiences and should be trusted to tell that story.
We support people seeking abortions with logistical, emotional, and holistic consultations and one-on-one support.
We engage in culture shift around abortion through art, collaboration, mutual aid, and narratives.
We rely on community support
The people who make up Holistic Abortions have been engaged in abortion support and education for decades. No matter the political situation, we are committed to sharing what we have learned and continue to generate and evolve new ways of practice and care reflective of the needs of people having abortions.
