The most frequently used modes of online communication are mailing lists, news groups, and world wide web pages. Other Internet protocols are utilized as well, such as IRC, MUDs, MOOS, etc. There is however, by no means any shortage of material to study in the aforementioned Internet districts . In fact, the chosen areas of interest are currently the most active and are also experiencing the most rapid growth in population. This is probably due to the nature of abortion rights activism being more of a political campaign, focused on social changes, where public information is needed to be stored openly and easily accessible.
Less focus is placed on individual support.
However, as we shall see, this does not mean that it has been overlooked or left out. There is to some degree an effort to create an identity and feeling of community among members as well as to provide guidance and advice to inquiring individuals. Politically, abortion rights activists are using the Internet to raise funds by providing links to donations, lobby government officials, and organize meetings and demonstrations as well as other forms of collective action both online and in real life. There are a number of abortion rights organizations that have made their presence on the Internet. Some of these organizations even have local divisions making an online presence for themselves.
