For immigrants and noncitizens, abortion access can feel especially risky. Ineedana has a helpful guide on how immigration status intersects with reproductive healthcare. It covers what clinics can and cannot ask, how to prepare if you’re traveling and worried about ICE or Border Patrol, and what your rights are if stopped or questioned. Everyone has the right to travel for abortion care, and no one is required to disclose their immigration status to receive care. For real-time information on clinics and support networks, visit Ineedana.com. For free and confidential legal advice about risks and protections, call the Repro Legal Helpline at (844) 868-2812.
