International travel for healthcare is a real option for many people, and some countries offer strong long-term immigration pathways. Below are destinations with accessible reproductive healthcare for US citizens, whether as a tourist or as a longer-term resident. Each country card includes detailed immigration pathways if you are considering a longer move.
No travel required for medication abortion: Several international services ship directly to US addresses. This is often faster, more private, and less expensive than traveling.
