On Friday, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and, in doing so, eliminated federal abortion protections that existed for nearly 50 years. Roe prohibited states from outlawing abortion before viability, around 24 weeks into pregnancy, and after that time in cases when the pregnant person’s life or health was in danger. In the wake of the decision, reproductive-justice advocates have called for people to donate to abortion funds, on-the-ground organizations that help arrange and pay for abortion care for patients who need financial support. Some 26 states are poised to outlaw abortion, according to the Guttmacher Institute, and 13 of those states have “trigger laws” in place that were designed to automatically outlaw abortion as soon as Roe was struck down. Such restrictions will force those seeking an abortion to travel across state lines to receive care. We have created this fund to offer American teens and young people free legal support, one-on-one case management, and a text line for those needing information on birth control and family-planning services without parental involvement. This fund also goes toward travel, lodging, food, and other costs associated with abortion care. SOLIDARIEDADE NA MOKILI is a 501 (C) (3) nonprofit organization. Your contribution is tax-deductible.
