Abortion access groups share stories of women they’ve supported since Roe was overturned
Synopsis
Abortion funds like the Chicago Abortion Fund in Illinois and All Options of Indiana are spending thousands of dollars a month to help patients from all over the country travel to Illinois and pay for their abortions. Scripps reporter Amber Strong dives into the realities of these Midwest funds — like helping cover the cost of procedures, buying plane tickets for women traveling from states with abortion bans, providing diapers and gas money, and feeding families during their stays. The barriers in place to try to stop women from getting abortions are steeper than ever, making abortion funds like these even more critical for patients seeking the care they need.
