Cambridge Reproductive Health Consultants
The Massachusetts Medication Abortion Access Project (The MAP) uses an asynchronous telemedicine platform to provide medication abortion care to abortion seekers throughout the United States.
If you live in the US and your last menstrual period began less than 11 weeks ago, you may be eligible for our service. We offer medication abortion pills for immediate use, for future use, for miscarriage management, and for use as period pills.
We believe abortion care should be available and accessible to everyone. For patients who need abortion pills now, we use a pay-as-much-as-you-can-afford-to-pay model and ask for a minimum payment of $5. If you are able to pay more, please do! It helps us provide care to more patients in need.
