“I’m afraid that there is this level of complacency that has happened post-Dobbs,” Njoku said. “This is not the same movement that it was five years ago, let alone 50 years ago, and yet we’re still operating and funding as if it were the same issue as it was before.”

"The Abortion Fund of Ohio supported about 100 patients a month in 2022. By 2023, that grew to 360 patients a month, and now they’re averaging more than 500 patient requests every month ― a 400% increase in two years, as executive director Lexis Dotson-Dufault told reporters earlier this month."

"Funds heavily rely on individual, small-dollar donors from their communities, who often can’t make continued contributions."

In the article, they bring up issue fatigue and stigma around abortion as 2 possible reasons that there's less money, but, I think, too, that the typical person has less money to donate.

I think you're right. I do think that this bodes badly for what's to come. If we [and here I mean Leftists] can't sustain the infrastructure needed to provide material support for people who really need it now, it's hard to see that we'll do it under even more repressive conditions.
