A $193,000 fine against the Center of Orlando for Women is threatening to bankrupt the abortion clinic. The state wants to "fine our clinic out of existence," a local volunteer told Insider. The organization Stand With Abortion Now has already crowdfunded nearly half the fine. The volunteers typically help shield patients entering the abortion clinic from anti-abortion activists. Donations from $1 to thousands of dollars have come in from people who want to save "this independent abortion clinic in the south," the volunteer said.
