By If/When/How
Since we launched the Repro Legal Helpline, the lawyers on the Helpline have provided legal services to thousands of people for their abortion, pregnancy loss, birth, or parenting. We’ve kept people out of jail and with their families, provided crisis legal support so people can access emergency abortion care, represented young people in judicial bypass hearings, and so much more.
“If/When/How’s Helpline answers about 300 callers per month. Callers include terrified young people in banned states; domestic violence victims whose partners are threatening to call the cops if they get abortions; victims of obstetric racism or other forms of obstetric violence; family members of women who have been arrested for miscarriages or self-managed abortions.”
No one should need a lawyer for their abortion, pregnancy loss, or birth. But when they do, we are here to help.
“Almost every case you see in the media where someone is criminalized for abortion or pregnancy, their family has reached out to us.”
