Using a reproductive justice framework, this presentation introduces the concept of self-managed abortion (SMA). Participants will learn about the practice and prevalence of SMA and how to help avoid client criminalization. The presentation will highlight how the social work code of ethics can inform practice when a client chooses to self-manage their abortion. With the recent decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v Wade, restricting a woman’s right to abortion, it is urgent that social workers learn more about safe SMA.
