Abortion at Home (Self-Managed Abortion)

DID YOU KNOW?

Wisconsin law does not state that taking pills on your own to cause an abortion is illegal. But it IS illegal for any person to give advice around self-managed medication abortion or to help you obtain or take abortion pills

DID YOU KNOW?

Some people access abortion pills directly by mail. Read below for more information and check out the Pill Abortion page for more details about abortion with pills.

The same safe abortion pills that clinicians prescribe are now available from vetted online sources.

Wisconsin law does not state that taking pills on your own to cause an abortion is illegal. Wisconsin law does state that it is illegal for other people, including relatives as well as clinicians, to help you obtain abortion pills.

In some states, people who ended their own pregnancies have been arrested and charged with crimes. Some of those people were convicted and served time in jail, while some had their cases dismissed. You can find free, accurate and supportive legal counsel through this legal helpline.

Even though we are unable to help you access abortion pills directly, the POWERS call line is available for more information and emotional support.

If you need or someone you know needs follow-up health care after a self-managed medication abortion, you can go to any Planned Parenthood clinic or other trusted healthcare practitioner in Wisconsin for safe and confidential care.
