Inside a medical practice sending abortion pills to states where they’re banned
Synopsis
Dr. Angel Foster, who runs a telehealth medication abortion service called MAP in Massachusetts, is at the forefront of abortion care in a post-Roe world. Every day, she and her team mail abortion pills to people in states where abortion is banned or heavily restricted. NPR reports on her life as the head of one of these organizations, which involves everything from managing the shipment of packages for women in states like Texas and Alabama to avoiding travel to states with abortion bans — even to visit family — due to fear of prosecution.
