Green and gold graphic continuing to quote lexis dotson-dufault, "As our country's leaders continue to strip away at our basic human rights, Black-led abortion funds will continue to show up for our people with care, resilience and action. Investing in us is one of the most impactful ways to directly advance reproductive freedom for Black folks, who are disproportionately impacted by abortion barriers. Fund us like our futures depend on it -- because they do!" An arrow to the next slide reads, "Black-led funds to support."

Black repro leaders already have the expertise and infrastructure to build better futuresβ€”but our impact will be limited until Black leadership is truly invested in.

ORDERING THROUGH
THIRD PARTY
WEBSITES LIKE
PLAN C PILLS
Studies conducted in 2020, 2021, and 2022 demonstrated that abortion pills ordered online through reputable, licensed providers had a near-perfect percentage of being genuine medication.
In instances where providers did not meet these standards, the studies indicated that inaccuracies often related to incorrect dosages rather than counterfeit medications.
Third party websites like Plan C Pills employ "secret shoppers" for the providers listed on their website in order to ensure the quality of medication provided.
Be aware when ordering from online providers that the order may take over one week to arrive.

Currently, the USPS is a federal entity. This makes it difficult for states to actually enforce local bans on abortion pills by mail since USPS is technically outside their jurisdiction.
A signed warrant is currently required in order for local law enforcement to open someone's
First Class mail.

Pills ordered online are quality assessed through studies and secret shoppers, and shown to consistently be genuine medication. When ordering abortion pills shipped by USPS, a signed warrant is needed to inspect a package.

Flyer in shades of purple that reads:

CLEARING UP
Misinformation
β€’ After the 2023 repeal of an anti-abortion law from the 1800s, there is no specific crime for self-managing an abortion in Tennessee.
β€’ While this bill is primarily aimed at providers rather than those self-managing their abortions, overzealous prosecutors may use it to further criminalize people for their pregnancy outcomes.
β€’ Third party websites that people may think of first around this bill (such as Plan C Pills) are NOT direct providers. They are a centralized hub where someone could potentially find
information about reliable providers.
β€’ This bill does NOT criminalize abortion funds or people who donate to abortion funds because Tennessee abortion funds do NOT distribute abortion pills. We help people afford their appointments at a clinic.

This bill does not target people who use abortion pills in TN, though prosecutors may still try to use this law or others to punish people who do. It also doesn’t target abortion funds or any other abortion advocacy groups that don’t directly provide abortion pills to people in TN.

Flyer in shades of purple that reads:

HB 0026
SB192
SPONSORED BY REP. BULSO & SEN. HENSLEY

If enacted, this bill would allow for civil lawsuit up to $5 million dollars for the mailing distribution of abortion pills into Tennessee that result in the end of a pregnancy.
Adds RICO charges to the possible charges that can be brought forth against individual or organization for the mailing or distribution of abortion pills. RICO is a series of offenses used to prosecute "organized crime."

HB 0026 / SB 194 is a new bill targeting providers that mail abortion pills into Tennessee, which has already been a felony since 2023. This bill seeks to reach past laws in other states that shield providers from being prosecuted in Tennessee.
