Read more about Abortion Access in the West.

Whether you’re having a medication or procedural abortion, the provider should talk with you about your options and answer your questions. You’ll fill out paperwork and may have some basic tests done, such as an ultrasound to determine your gestational age (how far along you are in your pregnancy). Along with providing information about how to take care of yourself after the procedure, the healthcare provider may offer to go over which contraception (birth control) options might work best for you. Most importantly, you should feel listened to and cared for throughout your experience.

Yes! In 2023, we changed our name from the Susan Wicklund Fund to the Montana Abortion Access Program to be more clear about what we do and to make it easier for people to find us. To learn more please see our About Us page.

We are committed to using gender-inclusive language because we know people of many genders have abortions. New research from the Guttmacher Institute’s Abortion Patient Survey indicates that LGBTQ+ people, including individuals who do not identify as women, make up as many as 16% of US abortion patients. We know that folks with many gender identities access abortion care and that the barriers to abortion care are systemic and intersectional and our approach must match that reality.

We affirm that the fight for the right to make reproductive decisions about one’s own body is inexorably linked with all other fights for bodily autonomy. We stand in solidarity and gratitude for all those who fought to protect and expand these rights. We build off this enduring legacy in solidarity with all those continuing this fight to protect our right to bodily autonomy.
