In 2016, the Holistic Abortion Guide: An Overview of Terminating Pregnancy in a Non-Clinical Paradigm (HAG) was compiled by leadership from Holistic Abortions in collaboration with community and clinical abortion providers to provide accurate and accessible information on client-centered abortion provision without medical oversight. This guide was a compendium of critical information ranging from the historical context of abortion, personal stories, legal considerations, self-managed, and/or supported non-clinical home abortion methods, informed by evidence-based protocols along with ancient knowledge, collections of research and story, and community-led practices and reflections.

The HAG resource proved to be an invaluable tool for increasing knowledge and skills within communities who did not have access to or preferred to stay out of clinical settings. So much has changed in five years, and while there is certainly more information widely available, particularly when discussing ‘self-managed abortion’ we seek to keep the voices and expertise of the community centered and valued.

We are seeking financial and publishing support for this resource to be updated and distributed. If you or your organization are interested in donating, sharing grant writing skills, or potential funding opportunities, please email.
