Mayday.Health visited Belhaven University on the first of a three-day tour, in Jackson, Mississippi, March 1, 2023. The mobile billboards promote how to safely order abortion pills and feature a QR code that directs people to resources specific to the state they want the pills delivered.

As Women’s History Month gets underway, mobile billboards are visiting college campuses in 14 states with abortion bans carrying a reminder that abortion pills are still accessible all across the country.
Mayday.Health, a nonprofit launched last year after legal abortions were heavily restricted or banned in 26 states, was created to provide information on where and how to safely order abortion pills. The traveling billboards are fitted with QR codes that direct people to resources specific to the state where they are hoping to have pills delivered.
The process can be cumbersome to navigate — involving forwarding mail between states, depending on abortion laws, or waiting weeks for an international prescription.
“We do not pretend that they are perfect,” said Dr. Jennifer Lincoln, executive director and president of Mayday. “We wish that everybody could just get these medications as easily as you can get Tylenol or Viagra in this country. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.”

..."The mobile billboard tour is happening against the backdrop of a lawsuit filed in federal court in West Virginia that could have national implications. GenBioPro, a manufacturer of one of the duo of pills taken for a medication abortion, argues it is unconstitutional for the state to ban the drug and that federal oversight takes precedence over state law.
While abortion pills remain illegal to prescribe in places with abortion bans, the Department of Justice maintains that it is legal to mail pills across state lines.
“It's exhausting, but we are going to do it. We have to, because I look at my kids and these younger generations, and we won't give up until we get our rights back,” Lincoln said.
