Minority Women’s Experiences of Pregnancy Loss Study
The Pregnancy Loss Project is interested in how women cope with pregnancy loss and how pregnancy loss affects them.
Eligibility criteria: Spanish-speaking Hispanic/Latinx women, ages 18-50, who have had an involuntary pregnancy loss, such as a miscarriage, stillbirth, or therapeutic abortion.
The Puerto Rico Senate’s approved Bill 923 threatens the rights, autonomy, and even the lives of pregnant people.
It forces impossible choices between their own well-being and their pregnancies, and could also restrict access to reproductive healthcare, including advanced fertility treatments.
This law risks criminalizing miscarriage, abortion, and essential medical care — punishing people for outcomes beyond their control and for decisions that protect their health, mental well-being, and families.
Laws like this ignore scientific evidence, don’t make anyone safer, and instead create fear, delay care, and set dangerous precedents across the island.
We demand policies that protect bodily autonomy, guarantee access to evidence-based care, and defend both the people and the clinicians who rely on it.
Reproductive freedom is a human right — Puerto Rico must protect it.

El Proyecto de Ley 923 aprobado por el Senado de Puerto Rico amenaza los derechos, la autonomía y hasta la vida de las personas gestantes.
Obliga a tomar decisiones imposibles entre su propio bienestar y su embarazo, y también podría restringir el acceso a atención reproductiva, incluyendo tratamientos avanzados de fertilidad.
Esta ley podría criminalizar abortos, pérdidas gestacionales y atención médica esencial — castigando a las personas por resultados fuera de su control y por decisiones que protegen su salud, bienestar mental y familias.
Leyes como esta ignoran la evidencia científica, no hacen a nadie más seguro y, en cambio, generan miedo, retrasan la atención y sientan precedentes peligrosos en toda la isla.
Exigimos políticas que protejan la autonomía corporal, garanticen acceso a atención basada en evidencia y defiendan tanto a las personas como a los profesionales de la salud que dependen de ella.
La libertad reproductiva es un derecho humano — Puerto Rico debe protegerla.

Just as birds take flight, following the call of seasons and safety, human beings move — seeking home, opportunity, and survival. At Montuna, as immigrants ourselves, we celebrate these journeys and honor the courage of every person on the move.
We stand firmly against the violence, criminalization, and borders that target mobilizing communities. Policies that punish, detain, or deport people only deepen fear, trauma, and injustice. Migration is natural, necessary, and a human right — and we will continue fighting to defend it.
🇵🇷
Así como las aves emprenden el vuelo siguiendo la llamada de las estaciones y la seguridad, los seres humanos nos movemos — buscando hogar, oportunidades y supervivencia. En Montuna, como inmigrantes, celebramos estos viajes y honramos el coraje de cada persona en movimiento.
Nos posicionamos firmemente contra la violencia, la criminalización y las fronteras que atacan a las comunidades que se movilizan. Las políticas que castigan, detienen o deportan a las personas solo profundizan el miedo, el trauma y la injusticia. Migrar es natural, necesario y un derecho humano — y seguiremos luchando para defenderlo.

We feel so blessed that our calendars are filling up, and we won’t be able to welcome new clients until April 2026.
We will continue walking alongside our current clients, supporting follow-ups and emergencies — both virtually and at our Skokie location. Meanwhile, our hearts and hands are full: supporting a partner reproductive health clinic in Rockford, completing long-planned classes back home in Puerto Rico, and growing into a new chapter as a Board member with an organization we cherish deeply, Repro TLC.
We are endlessly grateful for the trust our clients place in us and for the unwavering support of our community. For those needing care before April, we are happy to guide you to trusted providers in Chicago.
A special, heartfelt thank you to Heartwood Center for Body, Mind and Spirit in Evanston for an unforgettable 2025 — being part of their integrative health providers was a gift, and we hope our paths cross again.
Here’s to a 2026 full of meaning, growth, and healing — may it be gentle, inspired, and luminous for us all. 💛

Háblame de Patriarcado sin decirme. O también dicho, un grupo de hombres sin útero con conexiones de interés muy fuertes $$ con la iglesia, se reunió a decidir por la seguridad y cuerpas de las mujeres y personas gestantes en nuestro país. Los derechos humanos de muches corren peligro mientras nuestro gobierno sigue jugando elaborar leyes sin base científica que ellos mismos no entienden.
Respiremos mi gente que esto no se acaba aquí!

For a new year rooted in justice—where families and communities are not torn apart by government violence, and where healthcare, food, land, and housing are guaranteed rights, not privileges.
We reject systems that profit from harm and separation. We commit to healing as collective work and care as a political practice.
May justice guide how we live, organize, and show up for one another in the year ahead.
ESPAÑOL
Por un nuevo año arraigado en la justicia—donde las familias y comunidades no sean desgarradas por la violencia del Estado, y donde la salud, la alimentación, la tierra y la vivienda sean derechos garantizados, no privilegios.
Rechazamos sistemas que lucran con el daño y la separación. Nos comprometemos a la sanación como trabajo colectivo y al cuidado como práctica política.
Que la justicia guíe cómo vivimos, organizamos y nos acompañamos en el año que comienza.

As this season of celebration unfolds, we at Montuna pause at our Cabaña Montuna with gratitude and intention. We honor rest as sacred and recognize that how we care, slow down, and remain present is deeply political. We also reflect on how justice is practiced in the everyday—in how we relate to one another, to the land, and to ourselves.
May these days be gentle, nourishing, and rooted in collective responsibility. 🤍
ESPAÑOL
En esta temporada de celebraciones, en Montuna hacemos una pausa en nuestra Cabaña Montuna con gratitud e intención. Honramos el descanso como algo sagrado y reconocemos que la forma en que cuidamos, desaceleramos y permanecemos presentes también es política. Reflexionamos también en cómo la justicia se practica en lo cotidiano—en cómo nos relacionamos entre nosotrxs, con la tierra y con nosotrxs mismxs.
Que estos días sean suaves, nutritivos y sostenidos por la responsabilidad colectiva. 🤍

Mujer Montuna was born in 2008 as my spiritual reconciliation with the mountains of San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico. It was created initially as a space to work, create and conspire; with and for women identified people, and people, at mountain communities of PR.
It has transformed into a Social-Agricultural-Healing Justice project that we work on a daily basis with and for the community, around herbalism, permaculture, health and popular education practices.
Mujer Montuna’s mission is to reach social justice by encouraging transformative organizing for community sustainability and autonomy via the preservation and dissemination of ancestral practices of collective healing, agriculture, and education. Our target groups are communities of color with scarce resources, with a special focus on women identified people* within rural/ marginalized areas
Mama Aicha is a sub-project of Mujer Montuna. “Mama” as we say in Puerto Rico to a woman identified person we love, or we approach with love. An independent project that offers a compassionate support to communities and its people to obtain full spectrum sexual and reproductive health education and care services. We do this with a popular education, social-healing-reproductive justice, feminist, and decolonizing framework, training and organizing Health Workers in our communities on self-managed health techniques and bringing health prevention practices to where it always ancestrally belonged; into our people's hands!
We do Reproductive/Sexual Health Education and Services: Fertility. Conception. Prenatal classes. Birth. Postpartum. Breast/Chest feeding. Womb "sobadas". Reiki. Vaginal Health/ Steam Baths. Full Spectrum Birth Worker. Abortion Companionship and training of Abortion companions. Alternative inseminations. Midwife trained. Everything in sync with what our ancestors taught us.
Together we built La Cabaña, a place where people gather, conspire ideas and dreams, take classes, heal and meet. The cabin was made with mucho love by Papi and our own hands, among the hands of my neighbors. With same love we ask people to enter through its doors.
Our Values:
Reproductive Justice because we understand people have the right of power to make decisions about their bodies, gender, sexuality, families and communities; but of those, some are most marginalized than others.
Inter-sectional Power, because we understand in this system people’s identities determine their power, as deny power to others.
Cultural Competence, because we believe People’s cultural differences should be respected, honored and manage appropriately by other people and systems.
Decolonizing, because systems are not lineal for everybody and can oppress some people, and might not determine values for others. We aim to bring health prevention practices to where it always ancestrally belonged; into our people's hands!
Popular Education because we promote conversations and organizing education in the base; BY the people, WITH the people and FOR the people.
Hope and Joy, because we know historically our communities of color have been threatened with tearing off our joy and hope, and we are here to safeguard these values.
With love, Jackie, o , La Jacoba
*Note: Trans women are women. People don’t need to have uterus nor vaginas to be part of our groups! Trans men have benefited from our workshops as well. Every diversity of body is welcome!
