The bins lining the plate-glass windows are filled with Priority Mail packages containing abortion pills, ready to be labeled and shipped. Shelves hold supplies of mifepristone and misoprostol, the two drugs in the gold-standard abortion-pill regimen, all waiting to be packed.\u00a0<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movingandmortgagehub.com\/?p=1281\">Can Opposing Data Centers Help Progressives Win?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Foster is a leader in the movement that has revolutionized telemedicine abortion care in the post\u2013<em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> era. The Massachusetts Medication Abortion Access Project, or The MAP, which she co-founded in 2023, is the culmination of a 30-year career on the cutting edge of global reproductive care. Figuring out how to get abortion pills to people who need them, while preparing for a future in which those pills may no longer be legal, is a core part of Foster\u2019s\u2014and The MAP\u2019s\u2014mission.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got thousands and thousands of pills with the idea that we\u2019ll be able to provide care for months if we need to weather any storms,\u201d Foster tells the students, her hair pulled into a bun sturdy enough to withstand the harshest of elements. That stockpile is in addition to the more than 3,000 pill shipments The MAP has been sending out every month. \u201cWe just want to be able to provide care for as long as possible when there are disruptions,\u201d she adds, knowing a series of Category 5 hurricanes looms on the horizon. Her personal mantra, echoing Timothy Snyder\u2019s <em>On Tyranny<\/em>, is The MAP\u2019s organizational one: \u201cNo anticipatory obedience.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a Thursday evening in mid-April, and Foster\u2014a professor of medication abortion studies at the University of Ottawa in Canada, as well as The MAP\u2019s head of operations at its Boston-area base\u2014has spent the past week traveling and brainstorming with her abortion access allies about how to innovate and even expand care amid the escalating threats. Although she\u2019s renowned among her colleagues for needing half as much sleep as most people, tonight she seems distinctly tired, not that the rapt students seem to notice. They wolf down dinner\u2014pizza from a neighborhood joint with Oregon pinot and a crisp ros\u00e9 in plastic cups\u2014as she runs through The MAP\u2019s origin story (thank you, <em>Dobbs<\/em>), radical philosophy (who needs doctors?), and ever-widening ambitions. Then she asks everyone to clear away their greasy plates for the highlight of the evening: the famous MAP assembly line.<\/p>\n<p><em>This story will be part of the <\/em>Reveal<em> episode \u201cThe Post-Roe Surprise: More Abortions\u201d on Saturday, August 1. Subscribe to <\/em>Reveal<em> here or wherever you get your podcasts.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>First, they put together Priority Mail cartons, big enough to hold the correct dosage of abortion meds and inconspicuous enough to pass for, say, crafting supplies from Etsy. Then they pass the cartons around the table, each person slipping in something different: orange boxes of mifepristone and white plastic bottles of misoprostol, instruction sheets, information about ectopic pregnancies and patient privacy, and a handwritten card that says, \u201cWe wish you the best, [heart drawing] The MAP.\u201d The last student checks the contents, seals the package, and drops it into a plastic bin. Since its launch, The MAP has sent abortion pills to more than 60,000 patients, 95 percent in states where abortion is subject to harsh restrictions and near-total bans. \u201cHow are you able to get this amount of volume out?\u201d a dark-haired young woman asks incredulously.<\/p>\n<p>A big part of the answer can be found in work sessions like this one, which happen twice a week. The MAP has a long waiting list of volunteers eager for a chance to help thwart red-state attorneys general and subvert draconian laws. Not only have these events become integral to The MAP\u2019s operations, but they\u2019re a highly effective way of trolling conservative extremists who believed the end of <em>Roe<\/em> would mean the end of abortion access for much of the US.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Exhibit A for how much Foster has enraged \u201cthe antis\u201d (as she calls them) is a blockbuster lawsuit by the state of Louisiana that threatens mail-order mifepristone nationwide. On the gray springafternoon we were huddled in her office, lawyers for Louisiana were putting the finishing touches on a petition asking the 5th US Circuit Court of Appeals to block Biden-era FDA rules that allow the medication to be prescribed via telehealth and sent through the mail. Although Foster wasn\u2019t a defendant in the case, page 24 of the initial complaint included a photo of her presiding over a pill-packing party in 2024. Describing the gathering as a \u201cscheme,\u201d the lawsuit quoted from the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em> article in which the photo appeared, in which middle-aged volunteers \u201csip[ped] chardonnay in red plastic cups.\u201d (The <em>Journal<\/em> got that part wrong, Foster insisted later, in mock outrage: \u201cI would never serve chardonnay!\u201d)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The story \u201cinfuriated the anti-choice movement,\u201d she tells me, sounding as gleeful as you\u2019d expect from someone whose email signature used to include a drawing of the female reproductive system with the ovaries in the shape of middle fingers pointing up. The article also reached a vital audience for securing The MAP\u2019s future success: progressive donors. The day after it appeared, Foster says, a wealthy retiree in a neighboring state pledged $250,000.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Four years after the Supreme Court\u2019s <em>Dobbs<\/em> <em>v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health<\/em> decision ended the national right to abortion, Foster and her allies have managed to create an entire healthcare, legal, and financing infrastructure\u2014what The MAP\u2019s medical director, Dr. Maureen Paul, calls a \u201cshadow\u201d system\u2014that has kept abortion pills flowing, with stunning efficiency, into some of the most abortion-hostile parts of the country. In the process, they\u2019ve mainstreamed pills to such an extent that even a nationwide abortion ban, the anti-abortion movement\u2019s No. 1 priority, might be futile. \u201cEven if mifepristone became banned, medication abortion is here to stay,\u201d Foster says. \u201cYou can\u2019t put this genie back in a bottle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The irony is that while abortion foes see The MAP as an existential threat, many of the patients it serves still can\u2019t quite believe it\u2019s real. Imagine being a woman in an environment where abortion is painted as dangerous, evil, and illegal, Foster tells the students. \u201cYou get pregnant, you don\u2019t want to be, you go online, and you find out that there\u2019s this group of clinicians in Massachusetts that will send FDA-approved abortion pills to your home for $5. It sounds absolutely bananas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She calls this \u201cthe legitimacy challenge,\u201d and it breaks her heart to think of how desperately people want to believe. Several times a week, she says, \u201cwe\u2019ll have patients who email us saying, \u2018I just paid my last $5. Please don\u2019t be a scam.\u2019 And we email \u2019em back and say, \u2018We\u2019re not\u2014promise.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>On Friday, May 1, <\/span>two weeks after my visit,the ultra-conservative 5th Circuit  Louisiana\u2019s request to suspend FDA rules allowing mifepristone to be prescribed and dispensed via telehealth. It was one of the nightmare scenarios the movement had been dreading since <em>Dobbs<\/em>: a rogue ruling by an extremist court that could catastrophically disrupt care for tens of thousands of patients. Nearly two-thirds of abortions in the US now involve the two-drug regimen, and almost 30 percent occur via telemedicine; in states with the harshest laws, it\u2019s almost 100 percent.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a tremendous amount of scrambling, a lot of panicked people,\u201d says Susan Yanow, The MAP\u2019s director of community engagement and an abortion access pioneer. The ruling\u2019s timing\u2014just before a weekend and at the beginning of the month\u2014was guaranteed to cause maximum havoc. Hundreds of The MAP\u2019s patients had started ordering pills earlier in the week but were waiting for their paychecks to send in their money. Now they were in limbo.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But the ruling didn\u2019t affect the other medication in the standard abortion-pill regimen, misoprostol. Foster knew from her decades spent working in global settings that misoprostol is a highly effective and safe abortifacient on its own. And because it has so many other uses, from treating ulcers to inducing labor and stopping postpartum hemorrhages, it is relatively easy to obtain and difficult for abortion opponents to control. If the Supreme Court didn\u2019t step in, The MAP and other telemedicine providers had a backup plan. \u201cWe\u2019re prepared to switch to misoprostol alone if we need to,\u201d Foster had said back in Boston. \u201cNo precompliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That weekend, Yanow deployed volunteers to pack mailers with jars of misoprostol alone. Meanwhile, Foster reached out to patients and answered their frantic questions: If their mifepristone was already in the mail, would the Postal Service still deliver it? Was misoprostol a <em>real <\/em>abortion pill? New medication instruction sheets had to be finalized, patient consent forms resubmitted, and The MAP\u2019s website revamped. Fosteralso recognized a rare chance to generate much-needed data about misoprostol-only abortions via telemedicine in the US,so she designed a study that could compare the experiences of a thousand MAP patients on the single-drug protocol with the same number using the two-drug regimen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are people who tend to say, \u2018Oh my gosh, the boat\u2019s going down!\u2019\u201d says Yanow, who\u2019s known Foster for more than 25 years. \u201cAngel is one of the people who looks around and says, \u2018Okay, where\u2019s the opportunity? How can we fix this?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As it turned out, SCOTUS wasn\u2019t ready to take the politically dangerous step of stopping telemedicine abortions\u2014yet. After temporarily pausing the 5th Circuit ruling, the justices issued a one-paragraph order in mid-May that kicked the case back to the lower courts. For the foreseeable future, mail-order mifepristone remained legal. Justice Samuel Alito, the anti-abortion hardliner who authored the <em>Dobbs<\/em> decision, vociferously , railing about how providers like The MAP had \u201cperpetrat[ed] a scheme\u201d to circumvent the red-state bans that <em>Dobbs<\/em> made possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt made me so happy,\u201d Yanow says, \u201cwhen he wrote, \u2018They\u2019re undermining <em>Dobbs<\/em>.\u2019 I was like, <em>yeah<\/em>, <em>exactly<\/em>.\u201d As terrifying as the Louisiana case had been, Foster says, it was also confirmation of the abortion access movement\u2019s surprising resilience. (The study could wait for another time.) \u201cI was really proud of the different groups within the [abortion] ecosystem,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m really proud of how everyone rallied to make sure that patients could continue to get care.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<section><section><br\/>\n<div><section><\/section><\/div><br\/>\n<div><section><div>Misoprostol is a highly effective and safe abortifacient on its own.<\/div><\/section><\/div><br\/>\n<div><section><div>\u201cWe\u2019re prepared to switch to misoprostol alone if we need to. No precompliance.\u201d<\/div><\/section><\/div><br\/>\n<\/section><\/section>\n<p><span>Now 52, Foster <\/span>has spent decades helping to build and fortify that movement, often behind the scenes as a researcher, strategist, collaborator, and cheerleader, more recently as one of its mostvisibleinnovators. Four years after <em>Dobbs<\/em>, the infrastructure that she and her allies started creating in the 2010s includes mail-order abortion-pill providers, online information clearinghouses, and training initiatives for doctors and community activists. Abortion funds have helpedhundreds of thousands of low-income patients pay for care and travel across state lines. Medical and legal hotlines have kept untold numbers out of emergency rooms and jails. New systems have emerged for tracking abortion trends, as well as research initiatives to improve delivery of care. The sum of the parts, another abortion access leader tells me, has been \u201crevolutionary.\u201d Far from buckling under <em>Dobbs<\/em>, she says, the access movement has created \u201ca whole new way of doing healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cdeep irony,\u201d Foster says, is that if the <em>Dobbs<\/em> ruling had been narrower, \u201cI think we would be in a very different situation.\u201d Had SCOTUS simply upheld the 15-week ban at the heart of the <em>Dobbs<\/em> case, she suspects Americans\u2014and the mainstream pro-choice movement\u2014would have adapted as they had to all the other incremental restrictions on <em>Roe <\/em>over five decades. <\/p>\n<p>Instead, the extremism of the decision galvanized \u201ca new kind of creative thinking,\u201d she says\u2014ideas such as shield laws, blue-state statutes that protect abortion providers who deliver care to patients from places where abortion is restricted or banned. Almost every Democratic-run state now has some type of shield law, and eight states explicitly protect telemedicine. By trying to crush abortion in much of the US, conservatives have paradoxically created the conditions for patients and advocates to wrest control of abortion care from the medical and legal systems that have sought to restrict it.<\/p>\n<p>The result, Foster says, is that although abortion <em>rights<\/em> have been drastically curtailed in much of the country, abortion <em>access<\/em> has significantly expanded in some of the most unlikely places. Foster\u2019s favorite example is Mississippi, where the <em>Dobbs<\/em> case originated. In 2022, the state had a single abortion clinic, Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization, the other party in <em>Dobbs<\/em>. Women there are among the poorest in the country, and the cost could be prohibitive\u2014an average of $600 for the abortion itself, plus travel, childcare, and time off. (For context, a minimum-wage worker in the state earns $290 a week before taxes.)\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, with telemedicine and sliding-scale fees, \u201cyou can get abortion pills sent to your home for $5,\u201d Foster marvels, \u201cwithout having to go through all the steps that were required for in-clinic care.\u201d Since April 2022, clinician-supported abortions in Mississippi, as tabulated by the Society of Family Planning\u2019s #WeCount project, have risen a mind-boggling 85 percent\u2014all thanks to telemedicine. Across the US, according to the #WeCount data, abortions are up 16 percent. <\/p>\n<p>None of this is to suggest that the end of<em> Roe<\/em> has been <em>good<\/em> for reproductive care, and many people I talked to worried that the abortion access victories of the <em>Dobbs<\/em> era will be misconstrued or that the herculean efforts required to achieve them will be minimized. For women with uncomplicated pregnancies in their first trimester who have some access to technology, \u201cit\u2019s just not as bad as you thought it was going to be,\u201d says Tracy Weitz, an abortion policy expert who teaches at American University, \u201cand in some ways, in some places, it\u2019s actually better.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But for the 70 percent of abortion patients who can\u2019t or don\u2019t want to rely on telemedicine\u2014if, for example, they are later in pregnancy or have medical conditions that require clinic-based care\u2014the picture isn\u2019t nearly as rosy. Criminalization of pregnancy loss is on the rise. Harsh laws have  on medical training and emergency obstetric care. \u201cPeople with wanted pregnancies are at far more risk than people with unwanted pregnancies,\u201d Yanow says. \u201cBecause if you want to be pregnant and something goes wrong, you can\u2019t manage it yourself. You have to have somebody empty your uterus. When doctors don\u2019t know how to empty a uterus, pregnant people die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Foster is the first person to agree with the grim assessments. But she also sees an opportunity to \u201c<em>be<\/em> the change we want to see in a dysfunctional US healthcare system.\u201d She returns to this theme often. How can the access movement rectify the most glaring social, racial, and economic inequities of the <em>Roe<\/em> era? \u201cWe can use this to build back better,\u201d she says. \u201cWhat do we want to see this system look like? How can we do this differently?\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>Foster started thinking <\/span>about abortion access when she was 10. That\u2019s when her mother, Nancy, told her about her own illegal abortion in Mexico in the late 1960s. To pay for the procedure\u2014$300, the equivalent of almost $3,000 today\u2014she had to sell some of her possessions. Then she was robbed at knifepoint by one of the gangs that preyed on American women crossing the border with purses full of cash. She returned to Los Angeles, sold more stuff, and eventually got the abortion. The whole experience\u00a0\u201cwas terrifying,\u201d Nancy tells me, and deeply disturbing to her daughter. \u201cMy mom was the most important person in the world to me,\u201d Foster says. \u201cAnd I thought, \u2018I want to be an abortion provider so nobody has to go through what my mom went through.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As an infant, she and her mother spent months traveling from Australia, where Foster was born, through Asia and Europe, back to the US. \u201cI can\u2019t tell you how many women around the world held her when she was a baby,\u201d Nancy says. \u201cI can\u2019t help but think that molded her.\u201d In high school in Portland, Oregon, in the early 1990s, Foster won a scholarship to Jordan, where she spent time with Palestinian refugees and orphans and decided she wanted to be a humanitarian as well as a doctor.Her undergraduate studies at Stanford took her to labor-and-delivery wards in Egypt filled with women her own age suffering from sepsis and perforated uteruses\u2014\u201cthe consequences,\u201d she says, \u201cof abortion bans.\u201d As a Rhodes scholar at Oxford, her focus turned to Tunisia, an Islamic country that had integrated abortion into its health system, leading to some of the best maternal and infant outcomes in the region. \u201cI was just desperately curious,\u201d she recalls. \u201cHow did this happen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>She had just begun her medical studies at Harvard when, in September 2000, the FDA approved mifepristone for use in the US. Despite the thrilling possibilities that abortion pills presented, the restrictions on its use were disheartening, as was the dearth of medical school training for abortion, \u201ceven in blue, blue Boston.\u201d She threw herself into activism and met Yanow, a founder of what was then called the Abortion Access Project (now the Texas-based nonprofit Provide), who was organizing a training with chapters of Students for Choice. \u201cEvery year, [the students] would say they would do things,\u201d Yanow recalls, \u201cand our staff did 99 percent of it.\u201d So when Foster volunteered to help, Yanow was skeptical. \u201cBut within a week and a half, Angel produces this rock-star list of speakers.\u201d She even came up with tabletop centerpieces made from gourds. Yanow decided, \u201cThis is the woman for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Foster was in her second year at Harvard, she accepted a job\u2014on top of her studies\u2014leading the Middle East portfolio for a new research group called Ibis Reproductive Health, which put her in a global network of researcher-advocates working to make medication abortion more accessible worldwide. Much of that work became the foundation on which The MAP is built. \u201cWe don\u2019t usually think of low-resource humanitarian settings as having lessons for the United States,\u201d she says. \u201cBut that\u2019s absolutely what\u2019s happened here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One groundbreaking project took her to a  on the Thai border, where illegal abortions and postpartum hemorrhages contributed to horrific rates of maternal mortality. Her friend Cari Sietstra, founder of Law Students for Choice, had reached out for help figuring out how to train people in the settlement to use misoprostol to bring down maternal deaths. Together, they created a community-based distribution network to get the drug into the hands of 918 abortion patients over three years, then studied how the women fared. More than 96 percent of the abortions were successful, meaning the pregnancy ended without the need for a follow-up procedure.Foster is \u201cfearless,\u201d says Sietstra, who now heads an incubator called Innovations in Reproductive Health Access, \u201ca true ride-or-die.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When Foster and a different group of colleagues replicated the project in rural Pakistan, the misoprostol-only success rate was 100 percent. Before then, misoprostol\u2019s promise as an abortion drug in crisis settings was undercut by the lack of rigorous studies, but this research proved it could be used safely even where there wasn\u2019t access to backup care.<\/p>\n<p>The findings completely contradicted the American anti-abortion activists\u2019 cherished narrative that medication abortion was so dangerous that it needed to be strictly controlled, if not banned. According to Foster\u2019s research, \u201cdemedicalizing\u201d abortion pills\u2014her preferred term vs. the \u201cself-managed\u201d framing often used\u2014didn\u2019t make them unsafe, any more than had demedicalizing Tylenol in 1960. \u201cWe began to feel very confident in no-touch, no-test protocols and the idea that routine ultrasound, bloodwork, or physical examinations were not necessary,\u201d she says. Almost more important was the element of patient autonomy.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/movingandmortgagehub.com\/?p=1278\">France Had Never Seen a \u201cFire Cloud\u201d Until This Month\u2019s Record-Smashing Blazes<\/a><\/p>\n<p>At The MAP, Foster has returned to one of the key lessons from this time: If this model of care worked in resource-starved villages and refugee camps with minimal medical infrastructure, she knew it would succeed in places with smartphones, paved roads, and functioning postal systems. \u201cIf we can trust illiterate and semi-literate women from eastern Myanmar to make decisions about their own bodies,\u201d she asks, \u201chow is it that we can\u2019t trust women in Texas to do the same thing?\u201d<\/p>\n<section><section><br\/>\n<div><section><\/section><\/div><br\/>\n<div><section><div>\u201cHow are you able to get this volume out?\u201d someone asks. <\/div><\/section><\/div><br>\n<div><section><div>A big part of the answer is packing parties like this one.<\/div><\/section><\/div><br\/>\n<\/br><\/section><\/section>\n<p><span>When Foster joined<\/span> the University of Ottawa health sciences faculty in 2011, Canada presented a fascinating opportunity to help improve access to medication abortion on a nationwide scale. It had a single-payer healthcare system that was the envy of American progressives. On the other hand, it hadn\u2019t decriminalized abortion until 1988<em>,<\/em> and it still hadn\u2019t approved mifepristone 11 years after the FDA had done so. A major part of Foster\u2019s new job was to help build the research argument for the drug\u2019s acceptance.Canadian authorities finally gave their blessing in 2015.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Foster\u2019s reach expanded in 2020, when she came to rescue of <em>Perspectives on Sexual and Reproductive Health<\/em>, one of the few journals publishing high-level, peer-reviewed studies on abortion. When the Guttmacher Institute decided to shut it down, \u201cthere was a panic\u201d among researchers, says Weitz, a close friend of Foster\u2019s for 20 years, \u201cand of course, people looked to Angel, and she gets the University of Ottawa to take it.\u201d She and Weitz are now the editors, focusing exclusively on abortion-related topics around the world.<\/p>\n<p>The leak of the draft <em>Dobbs<\/em> decision in May 2022, just as the National Abortion Federation was a winding up its first in-person meeting since the pandemic, was \u201chuge gut punch,\u201d Foster recalls. As a member of the federation\u2019s board, she was in the middle of the planning frenzy that followed: \u201cWhat do we do? How do we move on this?\u201d The final decision a month later stunned her with its \u201ccruelty.\u201d Not only did it overturn 50 years of precedent, \u201cin so many places, there was an immediate change in policy with no consideration to what was happening to actual people and patients and providers on the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Then Massachusetts enacted its shield law in July 2022, the first in the country to explicitly protect telemedicine providers, and Foster saw a perfect opportunity to operationalize her middle-finger rage. After kicking around a few ideas with Weitz and others, including for an abortion-pill pharmacy, she settled on creating an organization\u2014that would become The MAP\u2014offering telemedicine nationally, supported by the new Massachusetts law. It would operate within the formal medical system but use a demedicalized model. \u201cIt was like, \u2018We\u2019ve got this law. It seems strong, but if nobody leans into it, we\u2019ll never show its strength.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Foster already had an essential piece of infrastructure in place\u2014Cambridge Reproductive Health Consultants, a research nonprofit she had co-founded with Sietstra years before to do politically sensitive work, including a study on the lack of abortion access for Peace Corps volunteers. She also had an impressive brain trust. Foster\u2019s co-founder was a nationally known abortion provider who needed to stay in the background to protect her family. Yanow, a social worker by training, had spent decades leading initiatives to expand access for marginalized communities around the country, inspired in part by the killing of a young woman she\u2019d been mentoring, in an abortion clinic shooting spree in 1994.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Maureen Paul, an OB-GYN who had served as the medical director for three Planned Parenthood affiliates across the country, assumed the same role for the new organization. Paul\u2019s passion for abortion access dated to her own experience as a pregnant 18-year-old in pre-<em>Roe<\/em> Massachusetts, when women hoping for a hospital abortion had to make their case to a special committee. \u201cThe social worker came back from the committee hearing and said, \u2018They denied your request, but you can go to England or Puerto Rico to have an abortion,\u2019\u201d Paul recalls. \u201cAnd she might as well have said, \u2018You can go to the moon.\u2019\u201d Paul carried the pregnancy to term and gave up the baby for adoption\u2014a heartbreak that, all these years later, remains close to the surface. After <em>Dobbs<\/em>, when she was looking for a way to channel her fury, The MAP \u201cchecked all the boxes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lawyers in the pro-choice mainstream were less enthused, Foster says, fretting that shield laws were untested in the courts and might end up hurting the entire abortion movement. \u201cI finally had to say, \u2018We are going to do this, I don\u2019t want to hear about how we can\u2019t,\u2019\u201d she tells me. To get the full protection of the Massachusetts law, Foster and the team decided The MAP would be completely Massachusetts-based, from the doctors prescribing the medication to the malpractice insurer paying the legal bills if anyone got prosecuted or sued. This contrasts with the largest telemedicine provider, Aid Access, which has partner doctors scattered around the US but is based in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>The downside was that The MAP would also have to comply with Massachusetts laws they disagreed with, such as the state\u2019s parental involvement law for patients under 16. The goal was to show the law\u2019s strength without provoking a backlash\u2014to be fearless but not reckless.<\/p>\n<p>As an added layer of protection, the team adopted a distributed-risk model, meaning that every step of The MAP\u2019s operations was performed by a different person\u2014from prescribing pills to packing shipments and lugging them to the post office. Although Foster is an MD, she is not a practicing clinician, nor is she one of the five prescribers. \u201cTo the outside world,\u201d she says, \u201cit is really hard to identify an individual person who provided pills to an individual patient.\u201d Crucially, the team was the first in the US to leave doctors\u2019 names off drug and shipping labels, making it much harder for someone in a red state to target them for legal action. If, say, a suspicious boyfriend in Texas finds a mailer and Googles \u201cThe MAP,\u201d instead of being directed to abortion-related content, he might be drowned in links to actual maps. Seven states have now adopted similar protections as part of their shield laws.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest innovations is the pricing structure. For the first year after its 2023 launch, The MAP charged $250 a patient\u2014enough to more or less break even. Then Foster and the team convinced foundations and abortion funds to finance a bold experiment: dropping the cost of pills to a maximum of $150 per patient with a sliding scale that allows people to pay as little as $5 an order, though if a patient can\u2019t afford even that, The MAP will send pills anyway. \u201cIt\u2019s a very feminist vision of empowerment,\u201d Yanow says. The team makes up the difference by constantly fundraising\u2014a business model that requires Foster to be front and center.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The vast majority of patients use the medication immediately to end a confirmed pregnancy. But The MAP offers other options as well. Women who think they <em>might<\/em> be pregnant but can\u2019t take a test or don\u2019t want to know can pay $75 for \u201cperiod pills\u201d\u2014the same drugs that induce abortions can be used to \u201cbring down\u201d missed periods. Or for $150, patients can purchase medication to stash away for future use.\u00a0Orders for \u201cjust-in-case\u201d pills tend to spike after seismic events like the 2024 election or the Louisiana-FDA scare. It turns out that bad news about abortion is a form of free publicity, getting the word out to women who might otherwise not have known The MAP existed.<\/p>\n<p>Amid it all, Foster must also contend with the ever-present legal risks. While she has not (yet) been charged or sued by red-state authorities, Cambridge Reproductive Health, as The MAP\u2019s official sponsor, has received cease-and-desist orders from Alabama and Arkansas. Other providers in New York, California, and Delaware have been targeted by authorities in Texas and Louisiana. Massachusetts\u2019 shield laws, though among the strongest in the country, protect Foster only while she\u2019s in the state, so she drastically limits how she moves within the US\u2014her biggest regret about her work. When she travels into and out of the country, it\u2019s always through Canada. The only state where she\u2019ll drive a car is Massachusetts. Everywhere else, her husband of almost 27 years serves as her chauffeur, \u201cwhich is a little bit of a problem for him but lovely for me, because I can work in the car.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Travel to red states is too dangerous,which means Foster can no longer visit the woman who inspired her life\u2019s work: her 78-year-old mother, who now lives with Foster\u2019s stepfather in South Carolina. Last year, Foster\u2019s beloved mother-in-law, who was Dutch, died in the Netherlands. \u201cI was able to see her and say goodbye,\u201d she says. \u201cIt was very hard and sad and also really beautiful at the same time, and I\u2019m so grateful to have been a part of that.\u201d When she and her husband were getting ready for their flight home, he asked her how she felt about the fact that if this were her mother, she wouldn\u2019t have been able to be by her side when she died. \u201cIt was really hard to absorb,\u201d Foster says. \u201cUm, yeah, so I feel sad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>Increasingly, the anti-abortion <\/span>movement has been pushing a narrative that the care offered by telemedicine providers is substandard and irresponsible, leaving women to fend for themselves in emergencies and allowing them to be cajoled or tricked into having abortions they don\u2019t want. \u201cWe are not just about mailing pills,\u201d Paul counters, \u201cwe\u2019re following people from start to finish, trying our best to help them get the care that they need.\u201d She tells a story about a woman in Texas who ordered abortion pills last fall, only to have a pregnancy test after taking them come back positive. After an ultrasound, The MAP sent her a second batch of pills that also didn\u2019t work. When she was around 10 weeks pregnant, the woman traveled to a small town in Mexico for a death in her family. She started bleeding, and a clinic diagnosed her with a type of ectopic pregnancy in which the fetus implants in cesarean scar tissue\u2014a potentially catastrophic complication the clinic didn\u2019t have the capacity to treat.<\/p>\n<p>So the Mexican doctors sent the woman back to Texas with a picture of her ultrasound. \u201cThis is where we really bumped up against how broken the healthcare system is for people living in abortion-ban states,\u201d Paul says. \u201cThe patient could have died from this. The fetus wasn\u2019t viable.\u201d But doctors at the Texas emergency room \u201crefused to even look at the ultrasound because they said those people in Mexico don\u2019t know what they\u2019re doing,\u201d Paul says. Telling the patient that bleeding during pregnancy was not unusual, they sent her home to \u201cpray.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead, she got back in touch with The MAP\u2019s doctors, who reached out to their network of high-risk providers in the state, eventually finding someone two hours away who was willing to perform the lifesaving procedure. Paul was on the phone with the woman on and off during the long drive. \u201cShe was so afraid: \u2018What if they won\u2019t see me? Am I going to be arrested?\u2019\u201d The procedurewent well, and the woman told them it was the best medical care she\u2019d ever received.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What has surprised Paul the most about her nearly three years at The MAP, she says, is the level of desperation among her patients. \u201cI have been an abortion provider in different settings for 40 years, and I have never heard stories like the ones I hear from my patients now.\u201d In survey this spring, 9 percent of The MAP\u2019s patients said they\u2019d been victims of some type of violence or reproductive coercion in their current pregnancy. Many patients have four or more children. And the stories they share are harrowing. \u201cI need to do this as discreetly as possible,\u201d one woman wrote. \u201cI\u2019m in a relationship that I\u2019m trying to safely get out of, and I can\u2019t be pregnant while I do it. I can\u2019t have a baby with him. I can\u2019t have another baby, period.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the story that haunts Paul the most was from a patient in Texas who already had two small children and could afford only $9.22 for her pills. \u201cI read this comment,\u201d Paul says, \u201cand sat there trying to imagine this person figuring out what it took for her to put food on the table and clothes on her kids and pay her rent, and after counting it all up, finally say: \u2018I can pay you $9.22.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span>When Foster and <\/span>her team launched The MAP in September 2023, Foster didn\u2019t consider it to be just a telehealth platform. It was a demonstration project, one she hoped would inspire providers in other shield-law states to follow her lead. One of her long-term goals has beento build redundancy into the US abortion access infrastructure, which is essential to ensuring its resilience.\u00a0But so far, The MAP is the only telemedicine provider of its kind, with the entire medical practice based in a single state. \u201cI think it\u2019s intimidating for folks to create a new practice,\u201d Foster acknowledges. \u201cIt feels like a heavy lift.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In June, The MAP switched to new computer software designed to streamline the patient intake process and improve protections for confidential information. To Foster\u2019s shock, the number of orders nearly doubled to more than 6,000 patients a month, which has created enormous new pressures\u2014for more inventory, more packing parties, and a lot more money. Instead of the $60,000 to $70,000 The MAP had to raise each month when I visited Boston last spring, it\u2019s now closer to $120,000a month. \u201cThat is the biggest challenge\u2014what it means for us financially. It\u2019s keeping me up a little bit at night, I\u2019m not gonna lie,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also the impact that comes with being a major player in a resource-starved movement. The MAP\u2019s fee structure has made it the equivalent of a \u201csafety-net facility,\u201d Foster says, helping to fill a gap for low-income women that goes back to the Hyde Amendment, which banned federal funds for abortion care. But most telemedicine providers haven\u2019t had the level of philanthropic support that makes those low prices possible, and clinics are even worse off: They rely on abortion pills\u2014at an average charge of $600 per patient\u2014to subsidize care for people for whom pills aren\u2019t an option. As more patients order pills online, some clinics could be forced to close\u2014a disaster for women who need later abortions and something the entire abortion ecosystem needs to reckon with.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of June, Weitz\u2014who as the former US program director of one of the largest funders of reproductive care, the Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, knows the landscape better than most\u2014convened a meeting of about 30 abortion access leaders. \u201cIt\u2019s time for an honest conversation about what it\u2019s going to take to make a service-delivery sector that makes sense to both the patient and to the providers,\u201d Weitz says.<\/p>\n<p>That conversation comes as the legal and political campaign to restrict mifepristone access has ratcheted up. Abortion opponents have been pressing President Donald Trump\u2019s FDA to rescind a variety of Obama- and Biden-era rules that have made mifepristone more accessible or to overturn approval of the drug entirely. Despite decades of evidence to the contrary, they insist mifepristone is unsafe, and to buttress their case, they have been churning out junk science, claiming abortion pills are sending large numbers of patients to emergency rooms, polluting the water supply, and enabling the coercion of women. The same abortion foes are pushing for the revival of the Comstock Act, a\u00a0Victorian-era anti-obscenity law that bans the mailing or transport of abortion-related drugs and supplies; it hasn\u2019t been enforced for decades. But if it were, the result would be tantamount to a national abortion ban.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After almost two years of resisting such sweeping measures, the Trump administration has recently taken a series of steps\u2014the nomination of Todd Blanche as attorney general, a stepped-up FDA review of mifepristone\u2019s safety\u2014that could signal a willingness to give conservatives what they want, possibly after the midterms.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, various lawsuits against mifepristone are moving through the federal courts, including the Louisiana case. The 5th Circuit is expected to issue another ruling in the not-too-distant future, and Foster and her colleagues doubt it will go any better than the last time.\u00a0Until then, Foster says, they are watching, preparing, and serving as many patients as they can. \u201cWe try not to get sucked into the noise of all the things that are bad that could happen,\u201d she says, \u201cand just do the work.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<footer>\n<section><h3>Owned by no one\u2014except you.<\/h3><p><strong>We just keep seeing it happen<\/strong>: Newsrooms owned by billionaires and corporations are spinning their own narratives, overwriting the truth, following only stories that keep them in the pocket of those with even more power.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Not here<\/strong>.
