Abortion Doula

EXPLAINED

An abortion doula is a trained professional who provides emotional, physical, and informational support to people before, during, and after an abortion. Abortion doulas are not medical professionals, but they can provide a variety of services, including:

  • Answering questions about the abortion process
  • Helping people to make informed decisions about their care
  • Providing emotional support during the abortion procedure
  • Advocating for people's needs and rights
  • Offering practical support, such as transportation, childcare, and meals

Abortion doulas can work in a variety of settings, including abortion clinics, hospitals, and private practices. They may also provide support remotely over the phone or video.

Abortion doulas can be a valuable resource for people who are considering or having an abortion. They can help people to feel less alone and more supported during this time.

Here are some of the benefits of having an abortion doula:

  • Abortion doulas can help people to feel more informed and empowered about their abortion decisions.
  • Abortion doulas can provide emotional support during the abortion procedure, which can help people to feel more comfortable and less anxious.
  • Abortion doulas can advocate for people's needs and rights, ensuring that they receive the best possible care.
  • Abortion doulas can offer practical support, such as transportation, childcare, and meals, which can help people to focus on their recovery.

If you are considering or having an abortion, I encourage you to consider working with an abortion doula. They can be a valuable source of support and guidance during this time.
