The first step is to Text Abby at 844-997-2229. Text Abby is a free text line that can answer any questions you may have about abortion access under 18 in North Carolina and help you through the process if you decide on pursuing a judicial waiver. If no one responds to your text within a few minutes, please send a second text letting us know if it is ok for us to text you back later. If you don’t want us to text (maybe because you are borrowing a friend’s phone or you think that your parents might be around later), let us know that and then text us again later.
