Happy to join our herman@s @StrongFams @AdvocatesTweets @RHTPorg @TheNWHN @AbortionFunds @ChoiceUSA @PRAEyesRight #Roe40Chat #YoTeApoyoLocal abortion funds share some of the specific challenges they see on the ground--not just a lack of money, but a lack of other resources as well:
- Would love to hear from local abortion funds on some of the unique challenges they face, regionally, 40 years after Roe. #Roe40Chat
#Arkansas has only 1 surgical ab clinic, TRAP laws, waiting period - all barriers 2 access. We can't let access erode further. #Roe40Chat
In TX, women are between a rock & a hard place – disappearing WHP means less access to BC, legislation means blocked access to AB #roe40chat
@NDWINFund Right! Love how so many #Abortion Funds also help w/ childcare, travel and emotional support for ppl seeking abortions #Roe40Chat
40 years after Roe, we face so many challenges in helping people access the abortions they need: travel, childcare, lodging #Roe40Chat
#Roe40Chat The Hyde Amen. prevents abortion funding on federal programs such as Medicaid. This makes it harder for poor WOC to get abortions
For far too many people, Roe stops at Hyde. I wrote about this some years ago. thefreedompages.wordpress.com/2010/12/07/hyd… #RoeAt40chat- Hyde denies abortion funding to Peace Corps members & anyone whose health insurance is Medicaid. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY. #Roe40Chat
- Hyde denies funding of abortions to people Native Americans via IHS. To military servicemembers and their dependents. #Roe40Chat
Hyde delays or prevents low-income wmn frm getting abortion care. @AbortionFunds have stepped up 2 meet wmn's needs #roe40chat
ND refugee population has additional cultural burdens troubling abortion access #Roeat40 #Roe40Chat
Happy 40th: 5 Ways Roe v. Wade is Undermined in MS furiousandbrave.com/2013/01/happy-… #Roeat40 #RoeVWade #reprojustice
#Louisiana has 20-wk ban, 24-hr wait, biased ultrasound & counseling, parent consent & clinic shortage. Deny access=deny #choice #Roe40chat
@nyaaf Yes. And often we hear from women who already have children and just know they can't afford another. #Roe40chat
We are happy to now have 8 volunteer translators in Spanish, French (for Louisville's growing West African population), & ASL! #Roe40Chat
@womensmedfund helped 1500+ women last year. What happens to those we tell "Sorry -- we are out of funding for today?"#Roe40Chat- In NY, medicaid covers abortion, but so many people fall through the cracks--uninsured, undocumented, young folks #Roe40chat
You can't "choose" an abortion if you live in a rural area and don't have easy access to doctors #Roe40chat
If women who decide to carry to term can receive much support,the same support is also needed for women who decide to terminate #RoeAt40Chat
52% of California counties don't have an accessible #abortion provider. Help us change that. bit.ly/V4qA6x #RoeAt40 #Roe40Chat #fem2
