Ibis Reproductive Health

Safe, legal abortion to protect women’s reproductive health and enable women to exercise their reproductive rights is increasingly under attack in the United States and elsewhere. We work to simplify and improve abortion methods and increase access to safe abortion, especially for women who face the most barriers to obtaining this service.
