We’re from the Internet and we’re here to help.

The Online Abortion Resource Squad (OARS) runs the abortion subreddit. Our peer-based online counseling model helps ensure that in the enormous ocean of the internet, everyone has the information, support, and resources they need to access safe abortion care no matter where they live.

People turn to Reddit when they have trouble locating resources, find themselves lost in a maze of (mis)information, or don’t know whom to trust. Our trained volunteers provide expert navigation and support services to the 200,000 individuals who visit r/abortion every month.

This public forum is a critical resource for the people most impacted by restrictive laws and barriers to access. To date, we’ve helped people from all 50 states, DC, and (at least) 154 countries access safe abortion care.

You can find us on r/abortion — anytime, day or night.
