With the remaining trigger bans in effect, this is the state of getting an in-clinic abortion in the lower 48 (and DC!) today.
Each pin is an abortion clinic that's still open. The gray/blue overlay is where there's a total ban, red is where there's a waiting period.
But! That doesn't mean you can't get an abortion. Abortion pills by mail is a reality in all 50 states and there are so many incredible people ready to help you travel and pay for your abortion if you need to.
Get connected with all of your current abortion options at ineedanA.com - built by people who've had abortions, for people who will. Made with zero-stigma and a ton of love.
New sticker colors going out in this week’s shipments. Request yours at tinyurl.com/abortionstickers! Will put a link in stories.
If you’ve been procrastinating putting in your request, now is the time! After this week, we’ll be closing down the current, open-to-anyone form and switch to exclusively offering stickers to active volunteers, monthly donors (of any amount), and abortion funds/support orgs 💜
Sending these cuties out to thousands of folks in every corner of the country has been a genuine highlight of the last two (very dark) months. We’re so grateful for all of your sticker pics, Amazon wishlist support purchases, and notes of encouragement.
If you’ve made a request, but haven’t received them yet, hang tight! We’re sending out a massive amount this week and following up with folks who requested a lot!
As of this weekend we’ve sent more than 10,000 of these super cute stickers to more than 500 people who want to help their community know how to get abortions!
Want your own free stickers to put up around town, on your gear like water bottles / computers, or share with friends to spark a conversation? Tinyurl.com/abortionstickers
Want to help support our grassroots marketing effort? We need more stamps! Check out ineedana.com/donate to get to find our Amazon wishlist
Help us share - ineedanabortion.com has everything you need to know to get an abortion - your closest clinics, pills-by-mail providers, laws, funding help, practical support, and more! We're making updates 7 days a week to ensure abortion seekers have the most useful information possible. Because we know from personal experience how much it sucks to call a clinic and be told they aren't doing abortions 💜
We'll always help you get abortions.
Save the date! We're doing another virtual volunteer event: July 23rd 3pm - 5pm ET // noon - 2pm PT
Apply at tinyurl.com/digitalclinicescort
If you've already volunteered with us, your invite will be in your inbox next week, no need to reapply.
If you've applied for previous events (specifically before June 11th) but didn't hear back from us, we likely need a little bit more information. We take vetting our volunteers very seriously because the safety & privacy of the group is a top priority. We'll be following up to ask for more info in the coming weeks 💜
Speaking of safety and privacy: we're going to be strongly recommending folks download and use a VPN. We know, it can suck to try to use new tech for the first time, but it's really important we protect ourselves 💜 We'll be sharing Digital Defense Fund's guide to VPNs in our registration email to help you get setup
More than 2500 stickers are in the mail! Missed out? We’ll send out another batch in a week or two. Request yours at tinyurl.com/abortionstickers

This morning, we updated ineedana.com to reflect that Iowa now has a 24-hour waiting period due to a new state supreme court ruling.
Our hearts are with everyone scheduled to have an abortion in Iowa today 💜 Especially those who have traveled from another state - many people come from Nebraska to Iowa.
Making you wait another day and potentially forcing you to travel to another state is inhumane.
Why would folks need to go to another state? Given the pending SCOTUS decision, many clinics in Iowa, as well as in neighboring South Dakota, have stopped booking new abortion appointments. So simply rescheduling to tomorrow may not be a possibility.
While abortion is still legal in 49 states - actual access is gone in a growing number of states.
If you want to help, consider setting up monthly donations to orgs helping Iowans (and beyond) navigate these changes like:
@iaafund@mountainaccessbrigade@chicagoabortionfund@indigenouswomenrising@brigidalliance
And after you've done that consider checking out ways to support us (both financially and not!) at ineedana.com/donate - we're updating the site daily and working with providers, funds, and orgs across the country to ensure everyone has the most accurate information possible
💜 We'll always help you get abortions
New stickers came in the mail! Want to put some up in your community? Let us know at tinyurl.com/abortionstickers and we’ll send some your way for free 💜

New URL who dis? ineedanabortion.com is now taking users to ineedana.com
While we've always loved to #sayabortion, we originally chose ineedana.com because we thought something without the word abortion would be better & safer for our users' browsers histories (though we highly recommend using the Tor browser or at least using incognito). While keeping our users' data and experience as safe and private as possible will always be our #1 priority, we also know "ineedana" isn't always easy to say or read. So we're going to start using ineedanabortion.com in a lot of our marketing and when we talk about the site, but know it's still the same trusted resource at ineedana.com 💜
Speaking of marketing - we've got new printables and social graphics ready for you to download @ tinyurl.com/abortiondownloads
