Living in the UK, I’ve learned what it feels like when free, unimpeded access [to] reproductive health is considered my basic human right. So to the American feminists fighting this battle across the pond, take it from me: You shouldn’t be settling for anything less.
Can someone walk in the same day and get the abortion pill?
It actually depends on the laws in your state. Some states allow you to have an abortion on the same day. Unfortunately, many states have stricter policies — like mandatory waiting periods and ultrasounds — which are meant to put a barrier between you and your abortion. Contact your local Planned Parenthood for guidance on the best way to move forward.
