Plot summary

Through the mail and the internet, a grassroots organization called Plan C works to widen the reach of abortion pills in the United States. It reaches people who cannot get to a clinic, and its work continues after Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization overturns Roe v. Wade. During the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals and health centers are reserved for essential services, and in states such as Texas abortion is not counted as essential, so patients lose a place to go. Francine Coeytaux, a co-founder of the group, and others ask people in the United States to mail the pills to patients, which are meant to be taken at home.
