Mayday Health Advertises How to Access Abortion Pills Across the South and Midwest - Carrie Baker

Boston-based Mayday Health’s in-your-face defiance of threats from red-state governors has ratcheted up in recent months. Mayday shares information on to access abortion pills in all 50 states, with the goal to “empower people to make their own informed decision about their own bodies.”

Taunting Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans, Mayday is currently sailing a boat in the Gulf of Mexico along the beaches from St. Pete’s to Clearwater for the month of August advertising mifepristone and misoprostol.

In West Virginia, Kentucky and Texas, Mayday recently began running over 120 abortion pill ads at gas stations in rural communities all over these states. On Instagram, they posted: “Just touched down in WV and KY—we’ll be here this week talking to folks affected by abortion bans. Shoot us a DM if you are in the area and want to meet up!”

Last week, a billboard truck advertised abortion pills at the Iowa State Fair. On Instagram, one person responded, “if i saw this it could make me feel so much safer. as a teen who has her abortion at 15, thank you for still being able to give women of all ages a choice.”

In Amarillo, Texas—where federal judge Matthew Kacsmaryk tried to ban abortion pills nationwide and where politicians tried to ban people from using local roads to get abortion care—Mayday has posted billboards and invited an ER doctor who lives in Amarillo to speak out why this message is important for his patients.
