Abortion funds often help people navigate barriers in addition to paying for procedures. We make sure people feel respected and valued. We believe in a holistic approach because people facing abortion barriers often face more than one. That’s why we also provide “practical support,” including transportation, child care payment, lodging, abortion doulas, and more.
Abortion funds have been navigating the difficult terrain of trying to get an abortion for a long time. We have decades of wisdom and experience assisting people over abortion barriers with compassion and care.
