We were devastated to learn that Your Choice, an indie clinic in Columbus, will close August 13th due to rising costs. We're forever grateful to have had their compassion, knowledge, and care in Central Ohio over the years. Let this be your sign to support your local indie clinic today & always.

It started with one woman helping a friend. Now, we're 34 years in and proud to have funded more than $5,000,000 for people seeking abortion care. Celebrate 34 years with a donation—100% of which will go to abortion care in Ohio: www.abortionfundofohio.org/donate

We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality care for abortion seekers, and part of that process means collecting feedback! If you've received support from AFO, we'd love to hear your thoughts: www.abortionfundofohio.org/fb

Pink gradient with clouds, and an icon with two hands reaching out over a heart. Text reads, "Seeking client feedback! Have you reached out to AFO for support? We want to hear from you!
Hearing directly from our clients helps us tailor services to patients seeking care now & in the future. No client is required to fill out the form, and filling it out (or not) doesn’t impact your ability to receive future services. Our short feedback form is available at: AbortionFundOfOhio.org/FB"

Abortion has never just been a "women's issue." Make a conscious effort (read their abortion stories, use inclusive language, etc) to ensure your abortion advocacy doesn't come at the cost of someone else.

Our Patient Navigation team works directly with abortion seekers, navigating an obstacle course of barriers to care. Our PN workers bring the compassion, knowledge, and skill that Ohioans need and deserve 🦋

Shocker: Meta wouldn't let us post this as an ad. Y'all will have to just send this to all your friends ☺️ Censorship is only growing. Be sure to follow + share trusted repro sources across multiple platforms, sign-up for emails, and talk about abortion in your everyday life.

Starting a monthly donation to your local abortion fund is one of the most impactful and direct ways to support access. Join AFO's monthly donor collective today! www.abortionfundofohio.org/aac

Too often, people fall through the cracks in our social support systems because they're explicitly or implicitly told that they are not deserving of support. We can't see a holistic portrait of abortion seekers' needs by simply looking at a number.

Green frequently questions graphic with a floral background. Text reads, "Is there an income limit to get help from an abortion fund? No, and AFO does not collect information about client’s income. Rigid income limits aren’t a great indicator of need, frequently causing more harm than good."

Gestation is confusing, but if you know the date when your last period started, I Need An A can calculate gestation and show verified options for accessing abortion nearby: INeedAnA.com

Purple gradient with icons explaining gestation. It reads. "In Ohio, abortion is legal through 21 weeks and 6 days from the start of your last menstrual period. We call the time between these dates gestation. For folks with less consistent periods, the pregnancy is often dated by ultrasound. p.s. INeedAnA.com can calculate gestation and show nearby clinics!

Why do anti-abortion politicians & extremists act like abortion access is completely distinct from parenting and family life? Spoiler: It doesn't fit *their* ideas of family.

Green gradient with bold shadowed text that reads, "60% of abortion seekers are already parents. Being pro-abortion is being pro-family."

We only collect information that's necessary to help clients access abortion care. Our Patient Navigation team works with you to navigate financial, logistical, and other barriers that may keep you from seeking care.

Dark green frequently questions graphic with a floral background. Text reads, "Do I need to be a citizen to get help from abortion funds? No. More specifically, Abortion Fund of Ohio does not collect any information on citizenship or immigration status. Everyone should be able to get the abortion care they need."

AFO's legal program can support folks who need a judicial bypass—a legal process that you have the right to use pursue—to access abortion: www.abortionfundofohio.org/youth

Our clients don’t get care without consistent, grassroots support. We don’t need to be rich to make a tangible impact on those around us. Sign up for a monthly donation & become a member of our Abortion Access Circle: www.abortionfundofohio.org/aac

Graphic with heart patterned background that reads, Abortion funds rely on community care. Philanthropy: Restricts how funds are used. Staff labor divided, around funders’ interests. Funding is conditional on acceptability. Community care: Funds the most pressing need, often appointment costs. Staff can continue & expand core, existing services. Allows us to be fully rooted in our values and be in solidarity with all oppressed peoples. Fund abortion monthly at abortionfundofohio.org/aac

Mifepristone and Misoprostol are well-researched safe and effective medications used by millions to end a pregnancy. People claiming otherwise have a vested interest in keeping you from accessing it.

Red gradient with speech bubble with red flags around it. Text reads, "Repro red flag: chemical abortion. Anti-abortion activists use this term to make medication abortion sound scary. In reality, medication abortion is a safe and effective way to end a pregnancy."
