Resources about where you can find people who are sharing their experiences with abortion.
As Debra Hauser of Advocates for Youth reflected, ‘As I have shared my story around the country, more often than not, other people offer up theirs…The result is a bond, stronger than the anti-choice rhetoric or the fear of retaliation or violence that too often finds its way into the political debate. In its place is empathy for the complexity of our lives, the commonalties that bind us, for the need to keep abortion care safe and available.’

Resources on how to track your period safely and protect your browser history when searching about abortion care.
Proton is an email server that uses encryption in order to respect people’s privacy.
Period apps are not safe right now because they are not covered by HIPAA. But if you need to use one, the “Euki” app is a privacy driven health app if you are looking for something to use on your phone but do not want to use Flo or other menstrual tracking apps that sell or share your data. Euki does not collect data about you, the data lives on the app and if you delete the app, all the info that you inputted will be deleted as well. Euki is not associated with your email address, and if someone is forcing you to open the app, you can type “0000” and it will display a false screen so no one else can get in.
Google does a lot of user tracking and collects lots of information about you and your habits. If you want a more private search engine that does not focus on knowing as much as possible about its users, you should try Duck Duck Go. Some people have been legally prosecuted from their Google searches when they are not private. Protect yourself and use Duck Duck Go.
