As laws and rules about abortion change and more people want reliable information, the Miscarriage and Abortion Hotline (M+A Hotline) has become a vital resource for many people nationwide.

Since its inception, the hotline has grown exponentially. The COVID-19 pandemic fueled this growth, new policies allowing access to abortion pills via mail, and the subsequent increase in self-managed abortions.

Staffed by experienced healthcare professionals, the hotline offers expert advice on various aspects of miscarriage and abortion, ensuring individuals receive accurate information and compassionate support throughout their journey.

"The individuals I interacted with over the call were considerate, and they furnished me with knowledge for every aspect of managing my situation. M+A engages individuals who provide love, support, and allow me to express freely without fear of judgement, denouncement, or mockery. I'm grateful for the unbiased individuals operating the helpline who have treated me with humanity — as opposed to disregarding me or imposing any 'perspective' of belief onto me."
