From the blog…
- Roe v. Wade is Overturned — Here's How You Can Take Action. The moment we've feared is here, but there are so many ways to help.

- What's a crisis pregnancy center? These fake "clinics" use dishonesty and high-pressure tactics to deter people from getting abortion care. Here's how to avoid falling for these deceptive centers.
- Companies are starting to consider helping employees travel for abortion – but the obstacles and inequities are real.
- Medicaid is a vital health care program for millions — but right now, it's in jeopardy. Urge President Biden to enforce the free-choice-of-provider law so Medicaid patients can choose their own provider and not be blocked from accessing care at Planned Parenthood health centers.
Ask the Experts:
"How much does an abortion cost?"
An abortion can cost between $500 and $900. The cost of abortion can vary depending on the state or health center where you get care; whether you can use health insurance (private or government insurance); and how far into a pregnancy you are. Abortion funds may also offer help with transportation, lodging, childcare, and other costs that could keep someone from getting an abortion.
Your nearest Planned Parenthood health center can give you more information about the cost of the abortion and funds that might be available to help you pay for your abortion.
