Jesse and Brittany welcome Melissa Fowler, Chief Program Officer of the National Abortion Federation (prochoice.org).

Melissa discusses the various ways the National Abortion Federation assists abortion providers, as well as those seeking abortions, through the National Abortion Hotline. The National Abortion Hotline (1-800-772-9100) is a crucial service for those seeking factual information on obtaining abortions, and those seeking funding for abortion procedures or travel to get an abortion.
