Reproductive Justice & Abortion Rights Toolkits

This page is a curated library of reproductive justice toolkits and abortion rights resources from trusted organizations working on the front lines of abortion access, health equity, and human rights. You’ll find practical guides for advocacy and activism, rights-based messaging, abortion storytelling, abortion stigma reduction, and navigating the post-Roe legal landscape.

These materials are especially useful if you’re looking for:

  • Post-Roe advocacy toolkits for organizers, mutual aid groups, and community educators
  • Clear, actionable information on pregnancy criminalization and legal risk
  • Healthcare-adjacent resources on medication abortion, misoprostol, and integrating abortion care into primary care
  • Messaging guidance for talking about abortion with friends, family, media, or decision-makers
  • Research and frameworks on social media disinformation and how it shapes abortion stigma

Important: I don’t own the copyright to any of these PDFs. This page exists to help people discover and use the original work—please support the source organizations whenever you can.

What you’ll find in this toolkit library

This collection spans multiple “lanes” in the reproductive justice ecosystem, including: legal information, healthcare guidance, medication abortion, advocacy strategy, abortion stigma, disinformation, and storytelling & narrative change.

Some toolkits are geared toward community organizers and storytellers; others are written for clinicians, nonprofits, unions, and policy advocates. A few focus on compliance and recordkeeping for 501(c) organizations, lobbying rules, and election-related activities for advocacy groups.

Who this page is for

If you’re searching for abortion advocacy resources or reproductive justice education materials, this page is built for you—whether you’re:

  • A clinic worker, counselor, doula, or healthcare provider needing professional toolkits
  • A nonprofit or coalition navigating legal constraints while pushing for change
  • Anyone who wants better language to talk about abortion without stigma

How to use these resources

Pick a toolkit that matches your goal:

  • Messaging & persuasion: rights-based messaging, conversation guides, abortion framing
  • Direct advocacy: organizing strategy, lobbying rules, election-related engagement
  • Legal & risk awareness: pregnancy criminalization, reporting requirements, post-Roe policy impacts
  • Health & harm reduction: medication abortion and post-abortion care guidance, pregnancy + substance use harm reduction
