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.
