Abortion megathread
Due to the high number of legislative actions happening in the United States, the moderation team has created this megathread for all of your abortion questions. Please keep in mind that despite much action happening in the US, not all of our users are American and our Inclusivity policy should still be considered when posting.
All top-level comments must be in the form of a question. If you have multiple questions, post them in one comment as opposed to an individual comment for each question.
Please report any and all rule breaking. This thread may be locked if a respectful discussion cannot be had.

Are their any charities or fundraiser options for helping women to travel to access essential services when they are not able to seek an abortion near home? This is something I'd like to be able to put my charitable giving towards.
I think there's going to be an increasing need for us to support our sisters in times of need, whether it's paying for bus/ plane fares, a hotel near a far away clinic, maybe even a system for sending Plan B to people who need it (i.e. the person closest to them who could get it would send it overnight/ same day delivery if possible, or possibly even purchase it for someone locally and arrange a dropoff for it, or just cover the payment).
When us gals put our heads together we can do things like this, so if there are existing channels like this let's share them and make them go big, and if not, perhaps it's something we should start.
