I am a trans man or gender non-binary person

People of diverse gender identities have abortions and need abortion care. Every person has the right to abortion care, regardless of their gender. There is a lack of research on whether testosterone and hormone therapy have negative effects on medical abortion. However, clinical practice has shown that medical abortion is considered safe and effective for transgender and non-binary people using gender affirming hormone therapy.

 

We are aware that trans and non-binary people face specific barriers in accessing reproductive healthcare, and are more strongly impacted by general barriers to abortion services. Within healthcare spaces, they often experience discrimination, harassment, lack of provider knowledge, and even refusal of care because of their gender identity. These barriers can cause people to delay or even avoid necessary healthcare services.

 

We recognize the needs and experiences of trans and non-binary people, and we support all people who are able to get pregnant and need abortion care.
