Maternie, a research firm with the mission to empower women with clear, independent, and rigorously-researched information on health and wellness, recently acquired AbortionIsSafe.com to continue providing public access to vital health information.
“I founded Maternie to get women the best information possible on the many health challenges that arise throughout our lifetimes, from periods to pregnancy to postpartum. Acquiring AbortionIsSafe.com was a no brainer — this site has provided hundreds of thousands of people with a historic, blue ribbon report on the safety of abortion,” said founder Meghan McCarthy in a statement.
