Reprocare is an abortion-advocacy hotline assisting women with finding abortion providers, resources, and funding. Reprocare has made public statements that having an abortion can be “great” 1 and has affirmed “abortions for all.” 2 Reprocare’s hotline works with partner groups that provide online abortion pills, identifies nearby abortion clinics, assists in funding abortions, and provides information on other pro-abortion groups.

History

Reprocare began in 2019 as an abortion-telemedicine organization that provided a hotline to assist finding abortion providers, online take-at-home abortion pills, and other resources. It does further work in advocacy, media, and political theory. 3

During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, a federal appeals court struck down the rule that patients seeking abortion pills must pick them up at a local pharmacy and ruled they could be delivered through the mail. 4 In January 2021, the Supreme Court reinstated the rule that pills must be picked up at pharmacies. 4 In April 2021, the Food and Drug Administration issued a new rule that patients could use telemedicine and have pills shipped directly in the mail. 5 Reprocare continued operating throughout, as it only advises on abortions and does not distribute abortion pills. 4

Policies

Reprocare supports greater access to abortion, stating it confronts racial and economic injustice. 6 The hotline provides information and resources on how to obtain pills for at-home abortions and provides emotional support to people seeking an abortion at a clinic or at home. 7 Reprocare has advocated for abortions stating, “abortion is okay. Great even.” 1 Reprocare has stated, “No shame! No stigma! Abortions for All!” 2

Reprocare has stated that Roe v. Wade was always the floor and at home abortions allows greater access to abortion. 8 Reprocare stated that the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe was horrible, wrong, and extremely harmful. 9 Reprocare has also supported left-of-center policies on illegal immigration. 10

Partner Organizations

Reprocare has partnered with and provided resources from other pro-abortion groups such as M + A Hotline, which provides anonymous medical information from providers on abortions and miscarriage; Plan C, which provides information and resources on getting abortion pills through telemedicine; I Need An Abortion, which provides information on how to get an abortion and local laws; Repro Legal Hotline, which advises on legal rights regarding self-managed abortions; National Network of Abortion Funds, which provides financial assistance to obtain an abortion; All Options, which provides support to those thinking of getting an abortion; Shout Your Abortion, which allows people to read other people’s abortion stories; and SASS, which provides online information and support. 11

Finances

Reprocare raises funds as part of the nonprofit Abortion Freedom Project. 7 In partnership with nonprofits the Vitae Foundation and Classy, Reprocare began a fundraising campaign for people to donate money to provide abortion pills to women. 12 Reprocare has also partnered with the Midwest Access Coalition that offers funding for people to travel to, within, and from the Midwest to get an abortion. 13
