How to Get Help

Find an abortion clinic or a US-based telemedicine provider at AbortionFinder.org or INeedanA.com. If you live in a state where abortion is illegal and you can’t travel, your options include international telemedicine services, ordering pills yourself, or using mail forwarding. PlanCPills.org has options by state and vetted websites to buy pills. For questions about the legal risks of self-managing an abortion, call the Repro Legal Helpline at 844-868-2812. If you’re self-managing an abortion and have medical questions, call or text the M+A Hotline at 833-246-2632. Their website, mahotline.org, explains how to safely self-manage an abortion.

If you need emotional support, call All-Options at 888-493-0092 or, for post-abortion support, text Exhale Pro-Voice at 617-749-2948.

How to Help

With abortion in crisis, you might automatically think of donating to a large organization like Planned Parenthood. Here are some smaller organizations that need help too.

Independent clinics like Amy Hagstrom Miller’s Whole Woman’s Health perform 55 percent of abortions, according to the Abortion Care Network. Find your local independent clinic or donate to the ACN’s Keep Our Clinics campaign at keepourclinics.org/donate.

Find your local abortion fund on the National Network of Abortion Funds website, abortionfunds.org. Abortion funds help pay for abortions. Some pay for travel, too.

Want to buy a comforting gift for a traveling abortion patient? Find the Amazon wishlist for Just the Pill’s mobile clinic patients at amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3V300AN54S15T.

Support Texas patients traveling with the Reverend Erika Ferguson to New Mexico (see page 14) by buying them a coffee or airport breakfast: withkoji.com/@ReproRevolution.

If you live near a clinic, find out if they have a volunteer clinic escort program, or need one.

Last but not least, organize! All over the country, people are organizing against local anti-abortion measures and in favor of proactive policies. Find ideas at the National Institute for Reproductive Health website, nirhealth.org/resources.

Can we count on you?

In the coming election, the fate of our democracy and fundamental civil rights are on the ballot. The conservative architects of Project 2025 are scheming to institutionalize Donald Trump’s authoritarian vision across all levels of government if he should win.

We’ve already seen events that fill us with both dread and cautious optimism—throughout it all, The Nation has been a bulwark against misinformation and an advocate for bold, principled perspectives. Our dedicated writers have sat down with Kamala Harris and Bernie Sanders for interviews, unpacked the shallow right-wing populist appeals of J.D. Vance, and debated the pathway for a Democratic victory in November.

Stories like these and the one you just read are vital at this critical juncture in our country’s history. Now more than ever, we need clear-eyed and deeply reported independent journalism to make sense of the headlines and sort fact from fiction. Donate today and join our 160-year legacy of speaking truth to power and uplifting the voices of grassroots advocates.

Throughout 2024 and what is likely the defining election of our lifetimes, we need your support to continue publishing the insightful journalism you rely on.

Thank you,
The Editors of The Nation
