Mission of the project

We are a team of researchers at Indiana University interested in understanding the experiences and perspectives of Latin American or Caribbean migrants who have considered or have self-managed their abortions in the United States.

*We define self-managed abortion as any action taken to end a pregnancy outside of a healthcare setting. For example, by taking abortion pills obtained online or from another source (e.g., friends, family, a community organization), using herbs, or using other methods.

Different Latin American and Caribbean countries use different words in Spanish to refer to the same thing. In this regard, self-managed abortion is sometimes referred to as “autonomous abortion,” “auto-abortion,” “self-administered or self-provided abortion,” “abortion at home,” “abortion with medicines,” “medical abortion,” or “home abortion with pills bought online” to name a few.
