The Massachusetts Medication Abortion Access Project (The MAP) uses an asynchronous telemedicine platform to provide medication abortion care to abortion seekers throughout the United States. 

 

If you live in the US and your last menstrual period began less than 11 weeks ago, you may be eligible for our service. We offer medication abortion pills for immediate use as well as for future use.

 

We believe abortion care should be available and accessible to everyone. For patients who need abortion pills now, we use a pay-as-much-as-you-can-afford-to-pay model and ask for a minimum payment of $5. If you are able to pay more, please do! It helps us provide care to more patients in need.

​

We will be closed on Saturday and Sunday for routine maintenance, please check back on Monday

How does The MAP work? 

​

If you need an abortion now…

  • Step 1:  Complete the initial intake form to request pills. The information you share is confidential and will allow us to contact you. The form will take less than 5 minutes to complete.

  • Step 2: Once the initial intake is reviewed, we will email you a link to a medical history form and consents to sign related to obtaining abortion pills through the mail. This process will take about 15 minutes.

  • Step 3: Within 24 hours a licensed clinician will review your medical history and consent forms. 

  • Step 4: If you are eligible for the abortion pills and nothing else is required, we will send an email with instructions for payment. Sometimes we will ask for more information or request that you have an ultrasound before mailing pills.

  • Step 5: Once we receive your payment, we will ship the medications and instructions to you. We will email you the tracking information so you can keep track of your package.

  • Step 6: The pills arrive in the mail and you take them at home or wherever is comfortable for you!

​

We will also follow-up with you after you receive the pills in the mail

  •  One to two weeks after you take your medications, we will email you a link with an online      questionnaire to see how you are doing. The questionnaire takes less than 5 minutes to complete. A clinician will review the information and will email you if you need anything.

  • Five to six weeks after you receive the medications in the mail, we will email you a link with an online questionnaire that takes less than 5 minutes to complete. We will also ask you to take a pregnancy test at that time. A clinician will review the information and will email you if anything else is required. 

 

We can send packages to any address in the US.

​

​

How much does it cost?

​

We require a minimum payment of $5. If you can afford to pay more, we ask that you pay more so that we can help as many patients in need as possible. If you are requesting pills for future use, our service costs $250. 

 

We accept payment via, Cash App, Zelle and Stripe (which accepts Credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay). We will not charge you unless you are eligible to receive medication abortion pills from our service. Your payment covers everything, including the medications, the clinician review, and shipping. And although we ask for a minimum payment of $5 you can reach out to us if that poses a hardship.

 

 

Refund policy: CRHC cannot offer refunds after the pills have shipped, unless the package does not arrive (as verified by tracking).

How do abortion pills work?

Medication abortion is a safe and effective way to end a pregnancy. The medication abortion process causes cramping and bleeding that can last several hours or more. You can be at home, or wherever is comfortable for you, during the abortion process.

 

The medication abortion care we provide involves two types of pills: mifepristone and misoprostol.  

 

  • First, you will take 1 mifepristone pill. This pill stops the pregnancy from growing and starts the abortion process.  

 

  • Next, you will take 4 misoprostol pills. You will take these pills 24-48 hours after you take the first pill. This medicine causes cramping and bleeding that empties your uterus. The pregnancy tissue will come out through your vagina. The process is very similar to an early miscarriage or a very heavy and crampy period.

 

  • Finally, you will take 4 more misoprostol pills. You will take these pills 4 hours after you take the first set of misoprostol pills. This helps ensure that the abortion is complete.

 

We will provide you with detailed instructions about what to do and what to expect when we send the medications.
