As a member of an online support community for abortion seeker, your primary task is to be available. Members looking for an empathetic ear don't post at regularly scheduled intervals—they post when they most need support. So, set aside some time to be available and read through recent community posts.

You can look for potential abortion clinics to volunteer at by using websites such as ProChoice.org or AbortionFinder.org. You could also use search engines, e.g., Google, to look for clinics in specific towns or other pro-choice organizations looking for volunteers.

Pro-life clinic, also known as women's health centers, often use similar language to their pro-choice counterparts but do not support access to abortion.
