What ineedana.com does

Ineedana.com (legal name: I Need an Abortion, DBA: I Need An A) is a US-based non-profit organization founded in 2016 that operates a free, web-based information platform helping individuals locate verified abortion clinics, telehealth abortion providers, pills-by-mail services, and related support resources. The platform is structured as a daily-updated directory spanning all 50 US states plus Mexico and British Columbia, with a privacy-first architecture that does not retain user search inputs and explicitly recommends incognito browsing for users on shared devices. Core products include a Provider Search Tool, state-by-state Clinic Directory, Telehealth Providers Directory (covering shield-law providers), a Wraparound Services Database for pre- and post-abortion care, a State Abortion Laws Guide, a Support Organizations Directory, an educational Blog updated weekly, and an Embeddable Provider Widget launched in May 2026 that allows partner organizations to syndicate provider data onto their own websites.

The organization's technology stack is deliberately simple and human-curated: a Sanity-backed content management system, daily manual verification calls to listed clinics, and a configuration-based embeddable widget product. There is no mobile app, no public API, no AI/ML components, and no SDK; the value proposition rests on data accuracy, privacy, and ecosystem trust rather than software sophistication.

As a small, independent non-profit with 1-10 employees and no parent company, ineedana.com is funded entirely by individual donations via ActBlue and modest grants (including a $25,000 Fast Forward award in March 2024). The platform charges neither users nor listed providers. Its go-to-market is content-driven: organic SEO, weekly editorial content, earned media (feature on HBO's Last Week Tonight; recognition as 'Quintessential Post-Roe Resource' by The Nation), and referral traffic from abortion funds, doulas, patient navigators, and clinical/legal helplines (M+A Hotline, Reprocare, Repro Legal Helpline) that depend on its vetted provider database. The organization operates bilingually in English and Spanish and has served more than 1.4 million users cumulatively since founding.

Core offering

ineedana.com operates a free, privacy-first web platform that helps individuals across the US find verified abortion clinics, telehealth providers, abortion pills by mail, state-specific laws, costs, and support organizations. The organization maintains a daily-updated database of providers and offers embeddable widgets that partner organizations can place on their own websites to syndicate vetted provider information.

Product overview

Ineedana.com is a nonprofit health information platform that serves as a comprehensive resource for abortion seekers in the US. The platform operates as a directory and information hub rather than a single unified product, consisting of multiple interconnected tools: a Provider Search Tool that helps users find verified abortion clinics and telehealth providers (updated daily), a Clinic Directory organized by state with detailed provider listings, a Telehealth Providers Directory featuring providers who offer pills by mail including shield law providers, and a Wraparound Services Database for pre/post-abortion care in restricted states. The platform also includes a Blog/Content Library with educational content, an Embeddable Provider Widget that other organizations can integrate into their websites, a State Abortion Laws Guide, and a Support Organizations Directory. All services are free to users and the platform prioritizes privacy by not storing user search data.
