Aid Access
History
Gomperts, a physician based in the Netherlands, started Aid Access in March 2018, to provide access to medication abortion in countries like the United States where abortion is legal but may be hard to access. Aid Access was incorporated in Austria, where Gomperts is registered to practice medicine.
History
In October 2018, after six months of non-publicized operation, Gomperts stated that she had fulfilled about 600 requests for pills (an average of 3 per day). By February 2022, she said that she had served over 30,000 people in the US. In January 2023, she said that they receive about 4,000 requests per month. In 2024, she said that over 6,000 people each month receive pills from Aid Access in US states with abortion bans.
Aid Access
Aid Access is a nonprofit organization that provides access to medication abortion by mail to the United States and worldwide. It was founded in 2018 by Dutch physician Rebecca Gomperts who describes its work as a harm reduction strategy designed to provide safe access to mifepristone and misoprostol for people who may not otherwise have access to abortion or miscarriage management services. Their online abortion pill service mails pills to people in all 50 U.S. states so they can manage their own abortion with remote access to a physician and a help-desk for any questions.
