ABORTION: ADD TO CART is a documentary exploring self-managed abortion with mifepristone and misoprostol and the emergence of telehealth. This short film examines the marketplace circumventing regulations to provide abortion pills over the internet. The film features two storytellers, Alice and Ari, who share their self-managed abortion experiences. Alice self-managed her abortion through Aid Access, a Dutch organization. Conversely, Ari, a trans-masculine non-binary storyteller, recalls a self-managed abortion experience before these resources were available. The film spotlights various organizations such as Plan C and If/When/How, who support those looking to self-manage. Doctors weigh in on the abortion pill and FDA regulations that prevent it from becoming widely available. ABORTION: ADD TO CART also investigates the emergence of telehealth, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and what the future of abortion looks like.

Educational Media Reviews Online | Kathleen H. Flynn, Science Librarian, University at Albany
"Abortion: Add to Cart is a documentary that has greater significance following the 2022 reversal of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision in the United States. ... It is highly recommended for university collections and courses in women’s studies, political science, or philosophy."

Ms. Magazine
“Accessible, informative and engaging, Abortion: Add to Cart provides a roadmap for how people can have safe abortions post-Roe—even in states that ban abortion.”
