Spike Kahn had been fundraising for abortion clinics in Texas when the Dobbs<\/em> ruling forced them all to shut down. \u201cI\u2019m watching the rights of women go backwards,\u201d the 64 year-old, who celebrated Roe v. Wade<\/em> in high school, lamented. \u201cI have to do something.\u201d So she followed the clinics she had been funding closely, supporting from afar as they moved to neighboring states where abortion remained legal. At the same time, she began searching for other solutions. \u201cThe clinic model is no longer sustainable,\u201d she said, or enough\u2014especially considering how difficult traveling for healthcare can be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she was just 22 years old, and making $300 a month working in Visalia, California, Kahn got pregnant. \u201cI couldn\u2019t support myself, let alone another person,\u201d she remembers. And because Visalia had no clinics, she had to travel to Fresno for her abortion. Even with Roe<\/em> as the \u201claw of the land,\u201d and even in a blue state like California, Kahn saw massive inequalities in abortion access. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years later, at the women\u2019s center of San Francisco General, she saw a sign on the door about abortions: Do you need a ride? Do you need childcare? Do you need translation? We can help you<\/em>, it said. At the time, she was working as a union representative, commuting back and forth between San Francisco, where she now lived, and Merced. \u201cI contacted the number…because I had an empty car and could provide rides,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From then on, Spike began hosting girls and women who traveled to have abortions on her couch, a leather sofa in a brick-walled apartment a couple blocks from the hospital. Over the next three decades, up until COVID, she estimates that she hosted hundreds of women\u2014\u201cmaybe even 1,000.\u201d Most of them came up from the San Joaquin Valley, when complicating factors like prior C-sections demanded specialized care that local clinics couldn\u2019t offer. Most were already mothers. And because Spike spoke Spanish, most were Latina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In California, 40 percent<\/a> of counties\u2014mostly rural\u2014have no clinics that provide abortions. The San Francisco Chronicle<\/em> <\/em>calls the broader Central Valley, which is also largely Latinx, an abortion \u201caccess desert.\u201d Traveling either north to the Bay Area or south to L.A. has been a common practice for people in need of abortion care for a while now\u2014a reminder that legality doesn\u2019t guarantee access, and that, as is often the case, already marginalized communities are most affected by abortion restrictions. The 1976 Hyde amendment, for instance, famously prevented the federal funding of abortions, leaving it up to state governments\u2014many of them hostile\u2014to decide whether healthcare programs would cover the costs of abortion care. \u201cEven before the fall of Roe<\/em>, Latinas\/xs\u2026didn\u2019t have equal access to abortion,\u201d the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Justice tweeted in August. Post-Roe<\/em>, they will also be disproportionately affected<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contemporary abortion justice movement in the U.S. recognizes exactly that\u2014and seeks to ensure equitable access for people of color and low-income folks to reproductive healthcare. In its mission and strategy, it draws heavily from Latin American feminist groups<\/a> that have mobilized for decades for <\/em>abortions to be not only legal and safe but also free<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of those groups, Las Libres<\/a>\u2014the Mexican feminist organization guaranteeing free abortion pills for people in the U.S.\u2014started making national headlines post-Roe<\/em>. Volunteers in its network, known as acompa\u00f1antes, share stories about their own experiences with \u201cthe pill,\u201d and walk pregnant people through what to expect. It\u2019s a model designed to deliver interpersonal care when social structures fail us. And it has been successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Las Libres can receive over 100 requests for help daily from the U.S., and in total, they estimate they\u2019ve been able to help thousands of people in the U.S. have abortions. \u201cBefore, in Mexico and all of Latin America, the United States was the objective we sought to reach. We all wanted to have our own Roe v. Wade<\/em>,\u201d the group\u2019s founder, Ver\u00f3nica Cruz, said. But now that Mexico has decriminalized abortion, \u201cthe U.S. has to learn from Latin America. And what is still to come needs to be better than Roe<\/em>. The fight of the next decade, around the world, is for universal access.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

+++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spike first learned about Las Libres in November, and was immediately inspired by their approach. \u201cThe pill is something that can show up at your mailbox that can cut through all of those bureaucracies and draconian laws and get women access,\u201d she told El Tecolote<\/em>.  \u201cAccess [for] a woman who can\u2019t get to a clinic, who can\u2019t travel across state lines, who has kids at home [or] a job that they can\u2019t miss.\u201d That same week, she emailed Ver\u00f3nica Cruz a short message\u2014just four lines\u2014with the subject \u201cHola.\u201d It began, \u201cSomos un grupo de mujeres en San Francisco, California…Queremos apoyarles en su trabajo de distribuir las medicinas para abortos a todas.\u201d The next day, the two women met over Zoom, and by the next week after that, they had planned a fundraising event in San Francisco\u2019s Mission District, where I met Spike for the first time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wore a Black Lives Matter shirt and a butterfly-print mask, wasted no time, and spoke her mind, commanding the room with her confidence. But like many others in the \u2018post-Roe<\/em> abortion underground<\/a>,\u2019 she was worried. When we spoke, we were careful not to mention the name of her fundraising group, or any of its donors. When I offered to delete the recording of our interview following publication, she quickly agreed. It was a matter of safety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though the immediate aftermath of Dobbs<\/em> was the end of medically administered abortions in states like Texas, Alabama, and Oklahoma, a more insidious, far-reaching result has been the U.S. surveillance state expanding into the most private of spaces, and treating them as a battleground\u2014sparking fear about period trackers, text messages, and out-of-state travel. Often, people who reach out to Las Libres for help use fake Instagram accounts, or the encrypted messaging app Signal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Texas, mailing pills within the state to \u201cfacilitate a self-induced abortion\u2026is a felony punishable by up to two years in prison,\u201d the New Yorker <\/em>reported<\/a>. In Mississippi, the same act could mean up to five. It\u2019s with good reason that members of Las Libres\u2019 network, and those who fundraise for it, are cautious. But as far as their organizational model goes, it\u2019s fairly foolproof. When you take an abortion pill, it dissolves in your body without a trace. The pills mimic a natural miscarriage, which happens in about 10-20 percent of pregnancies anyway. \u201cThere is [currently] no way for anyone to know as long as [you] don\u2019t say that [you] used pills,\u201d Dr. Eleanor Drey, the medical director of San Francisco General\u2019s abortion clinic, confirmed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a country where for many abortions are now either illegal or inaccessible, it\u2019s important we learn how to take care of ourselves and each other<\/a>. That knowledge, and the tools to use it, are exactly what Ver\u00f3nica and Spike are trying to disseminate. \u201cWhether legal or not, women have to have control of their bodies,\u201d Kahn emphasized. And, as Cruz says, it\u2019s international solidarity among women that is saving lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

+++<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Saturday, dozens gathered at Acci\u00f3n Latina to hear Cruz speak, and donated a total of $2,220 to fund Las Libres\u2019 abortion kits. Others signed up to be acompa\u00f1antes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe people we accompany when we guarantee safe abortions almost all write us messages afterwards. They always say, \u2018You\u2019re an angel. You saved my life,\u2019\u201d Cruz told the audience. Drey nodded, and raised her hand. \u201cThis is often very young people who feel like their entire lives have been given back to them, and yet we don\u2019t talk about years of life we\u2019ve given to so many people [the way] we talk about the years of life given to someone when you treat them for cancer,\u201d she added, citing George Tiller, the Kansas physician who was assassinated in 2009 for performing abortions. \u201cSo I really thank you for your work, because you\u2019re really saving peoples\u2019 lives.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
