After an abortion, you may have many questions, but you may be too embarrassed to talk to your provider on the phone about it. You can count: you have nothing to worry about (we’ve heard it all!), but we got it. That’s why we created Cara, an empathetic, non-judgmental, supportive, and affirming online text support system to accompany you as you go through the at-home medication abortion experience.

Cara is a text-based support system that helps you manage your personalized abortion pill care plan and get answers without having to make any awkward calls. Phone anxiety who? You can now text Cara with any questions or concerns you have while taking the abortion pill at home and receive immediate compassionate support from your medical provider.

“The timing, his timing was very good because when I thought, you know, I was alone, it turned out not to be. All the times I felt alone, I wasn’t because Cara was there [and would] it seems surprising to stop by and see me.”
“I know I woke up to a message, and I was surprised. Yes, I know I woke up on Sunday and Cara asked me, did you finish the procedure? Let me know. And I was all surprised, I forgot that Cara was supposed to text me…my best friend has never texted me.”
