What Happens Now? Our roadmap for 2025
Posted November 8, 2024At ineedana.com, our mission is design and build tech that helps people who need abortions in the United States.
Since 2016, we’ve worked to build better tools for people who need abortions. This election doesn’t change that. A lot remains unknown about what will happen in 2025, but we know for sure:
People in every state will keep needing abortions and they will always have options.
We will continue to track how people are getting abortions and share that data. We will continue to design and build new and better ways for people to understand and compare all of their options. We will help them confidently decide on the best abortion for them (be it pills by mail or an in-clinic abortion). We will help them seamlessly navigate the logistics of abortion access, no matter what chaos and confusion the future brings.
Different people will have different needs for their abortions. Many people will want to and benefit from talking to trusted experts about their personal situation.
We will build new tools so people can connect with experts at hotlines like M+A Hotline and Repro Legal Helpline quickly, more securely, and with fewer phone calls directly on ineedana.com.
People living in the most restricted states will need trusted places to go for follow up care and legal miscarriage management.
We will expand our database of trusted providers in restricted states so people can safely access services like ultrasounds and avoid anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers.
The national network of grassroots support and clinics will continue to be innovative heroes and experts in helping their communities get the care they need.
We will improve the infrastructure that enables support organizations to share information with each other, empowering a more resilient and efficient grassroots network.
More work will be needed to fight censorship and make sure we're reaching abortion seekers when they need us most.
We will continue to invest in search engine advertising and optimization. We will also collaborate on educational campaigns like YouHaveOptions.com
By the end of November 2024, we will have helped more than 1.3 million unique users understand their abortion options.
At least one million people will need abortions in 2025. We're going to need *your* support to reach and serve them.
