Get Help Paying for an Abortion

Abortion care providers strive to keep their prices within reach for their patients. The average cost of care in the US has not changed in the last 10 years. Even so, paying for an abortion can be a serious financial burden. There is a whole community of people who are working to help cover the costs of abortion care for people who can't otherwise afford it.

Depending on where you live and what health insurance you have, abortion care may be covered. A clinic can help you find out if your health insurance covers abortion, including Medicaid.

If you pay out of your own pocket for some or all of the cost of an abortion, you may qualify for help from a justice fund. Justice funds help people pay for the abortion itself and some help pay for related costs like travel, lodging, or childcare. Clinics that belong to the National Abortion Federation have a justice fund that you can access by calling their toll-free hotline. Planned Parenthood health centers have their own justice funds that they can help you access; call a health center to learn more. The National Network of Abortion Funds lists contact information for local and national justice funds, many of which are independent of a particular clinic or provider.

Talk to Someone

Although one in four US women will have an abortion by the time they're 45, people don't talk much about it. If you haven't been able to tell a friend or family member about your experience, it can feel lonely. If you want a source of support or someone who can just listen to you, we recommend the nonjudgmental support offered by these talklines:
