Until the government can make abortion illegal, it’s making it unaffordable. So what if you can’t pay? The answer for more than 50,000 women is to call this number.
It’s 9:40 a.m. on a humid Friday in April when Oriaku Njoku arrives at her office building, 20 minutes before the Atlanta-based abortion-fund hotline she founded opens for the day. After riding on an elevator as slow as molasses to the second-floor office she rents in a coworking space, she makes her way to her desk, which is surrounded by thank-you cards (“You were the only pleasant thing that came from this ordeal,” one reads) and notes scribbled on large sheets of butcher paper covering the otherwise sparse walls (“Who are our people? How do we let them know we exist?”).
Njoku starts each day by listening to voice mails. The first is from a 30-year-old who, at the moment, is sitting in the waiting room of an abortion clinic in Georgia and has called more than 15 times so far today. Her appointment was scheduled for earlier this morning, but when she showed up at the clinic, she was told she was short the money needed to pay for the procedure. The caller is worried she’ll have to reschedule again, after pushing back her appointment twice already because she didn’t have the cash. “You won’t have to reschedule, sis; I got you,” Njoku, 32, murmurs as she picks up the phone to call the clinic.
