The National Network of Abortion Funds: An Option for Women

The National Network of Abortion Funds
http://www.nnaf.org/

NNAF is a "growing association of abortion funds throughout the US, with 108 community-based groups in 43 states that offer financial assistance to low-income women seeking abortions.

We believe that:

*The right to choose abortion is meaningless without access to abortion services.

*Restrictions on abortion access and funding are discriminatory because they especially burden poor women, young women, women of color and rural women

*Abortion is a component of basic healthcare, which is a right that should be guaranteed to all through an expanded Medicaid program or another universal national healthcare plan.

*We must act now to support women who want abortions and cannot afford them. Our member funds provide direct financial assistance and support to these women."

If you or someone you know is in need of financial assistance in order to obtain access to safe, legal abortion, please visit NNAF's website and search for a fund near you.

Also, in response to the abortion ban in South Dakota, NNAF has launched a new fund, The National Reproducitve Justice Fund, aimed to help "low income women affected by the South Dakota and other state abortion bans."

People seeking to donate to the National Reproductive Justice Fund can contact NNAF at 617- 524-6040 or www.nnaf.org
