New York City has allocated $250,000 to the New York Abortion Access Fund to cover abortion fees for anyone in, or who travels to NY to get an abortion.
, the Fund will essentially pay abortion clinics on behalf of women who cannot pay and are not covered by insurance or Medicaid. Plus, they’ve set aside about a third of the fund specifically to help women who can’t access abortions in their home state and travel to New York to do so.and they’ll have someone respond to you within 24 hours. After assessing your situation, the organization will pay any bills directly to the abortion clinic.
Many think the modest $250,000 set aside for abortion fees is also meant to stand as a symbolic gesture against the conservative legislature and abortion bans currently plaguing the country. “There haven’t been that many city and state public officials to say we should publicly fund abortions. It’s a big statement,” Aziza Ahmed, a law professor at Northeastern University toldMany individuals on Twitter are praising the city for this progressive, and necessary, social service.
