Dr. Linda Prine, a family clinician in New York City, spends a lot of her day talking to Texans.
“We probably get more calls from Texas than any other state,” said Prine, founder of the Miscarriage and Abortion Hotline, a free and confidential telehealth service staffed by a group of about 70 volunteer OB-GYNs, midwives, and family clinicians.
Established in 2019, the hotline helps callers from all 50 states, pointing them to online resources where people find and order abortion pills and guiding them through the medication abortion process.
